I would heartily second the recommendation to use St. Hubert. We took the
Archer up there for Thanksgiving, and found it very easy. We used the FBO
next door to the Esso (Exxon?) sign, but found them a bit disorganised. The
main FBO seems to be the one with the fuel sign. They came over to where
were and fueled us anyway. It might have been more convenient had we parked
with them. The only problem we had (apart from the snowstorm that blew
through between arrival and departure a few days later) was that CanPass
told us to go inside the Customs (RCMP) hanger when we arrived and call
them. When I did that, I got (mildly) chewed out for arriving outside of
Customs hours. When I explained that CanPass had told me what to do, and
knew when I was planning on arriving, they simply said "don't do it again",
gave me my code, and told me to have a good visit. They never even saw the
plane. You probably should ask CanPass when you call them before departure
what the Customs hours are at St. Hubert, and if you can arrive outside
normal manned hours. The AOPA website has a section on flying to Canada
that has a lot of good information.

Anybody flown into CYUL(Dorval) lately? Thinking about heading up there

for
the long weekend.
Any advice on FBO's and anything else would be appreciated. I'll be
departing from the Boston area.

TIA,
Pete
