Looking to fly into Niagara falls "International" in July can anyone give me
some advice on the airport, what to watch for, best FBO etc. Will be aiming
to arrive from the west hopping over southern Ontario


Do you plan on overflying the falls or are you just going to the airport?
If you want to circle the falls, there is a procedure out of the A/FD that
contains the discreet frequency on which scenic traffic should
self-announce, the below 3,500 restricted airspace over the falls, and the
recommended pattern you should fly. If you do not have the A/FD, I can
scan the pertinent page and post it to my website for you.

Regarding the FBO, there is only one. The few times I have been there
they have been a very friendly and helpful staff. There is a landing fee
of $3.00 or $6.00 (I cannot remember the exact amount, but it is trivial).
Fuel is not a deal.

Call the FBO's frequency when about 10 minutes out and request a cab, if
you need a ride to the falls area. Cab fare should be about US$16 or so.
