Greenbank airport??

[eep...2 Green]

Does anyone know anything about Greenbank airport near Uxbridge? Anyone go in or out of there recently?

Was out there in the summer to practice soft field TO/LD with my FI. Nice small field, very easy to spot from the air, just saw a white barn with orange pylons. Rwy 03/21 were closed due to construction. From the looks of it it was permanent.

Got my license out there in the '70s. Can't say what it's like now, but when I was there 03/21 was not used.

Thanks for the info!! Did it look like there was anywhere to tie down a 172 for the night? What condition was the strip? Was it reasonably smooth for a grass strip?

Their were several GA planes tied down when I went, a few low wing types, don't recall seeing any 172's. Since this is the only Grass airport I've been to, can't give you much of a comparison, just to say that the grass was low and the field looked to be well maintained.

It's extremely smooth, for a grass field, and immaculately kept through the summer. I'm not sure what the drainage is like; I only tend to go when it's dry.

From what I know, it's one of the best maintained grass strips around the GTA. In the summer, anyway. But I haven't actually flown into it for several years now, so it's not the most current info.

I remember it being a great spot to fly into, lots of friendly, helpful people. Apparently they were/are getting an FBO, a bunch of new hangars and hard-surface runway. It looked like there was a ton of construction going on when we drove past in the spring.

Their website has kinky music on it.

Very Robbie Robertson "Somewhere Down the Crazy River"-ish. I like it!

Apparently some new hangers being built as well as a cement runway.

Hummmm I swear I remember seeing a notam not too long ago that a rwy was perm closed. Any info on that? Just checked them again and don't see it anymore.
