IFR Routing Toronto to Windsor (CYTZ - CYQG)

It's a fantastic airport -- too bad about the high-cost of tie-downs
for aircraft based there (around CAD 600.00/month, isn't it?). Of
course, CAD 20.00/night isn't so bad when you're just visiting for a
couple of days, especially since they waive the first night with a
fuel purchase.


All the best,

It's great down town airport for flying in and out of. On top of all those
fees there is also the crossing to pay from the island ($5.5 for each trip
from the island ).
One of my best routes for "new" passengers is a night flight from Burlington
bridge along the lakeshore with close up view of the skydome (especially
when it's open and they are playing inside) and the CN tower whilst flying
over the airport. This is another lake front airport we mustn't lose.

Safe flying,
Ross

I think it's in pretty good shape. It has survived another attack
from the Island residents (those selfless citizens who get to live on
city property virtually rent-free and complain about everything as a
result) and an attack from the federal government, and now they're
actually planning to expand service and build the new bridge.

Even more importantly, though, our new premier-designate is from
Ottawa, and Ottawa has direct scheduled air service to CYTZ, so I
imagine that he and/or his family and staff will be flying through the
airport at least a couple of times every week (why fight the traffic
out to CYYZ?). I've noticed that the CBC reporters and staff seem to
use the airport quite a bit for Ottawa-Toronto flights as well.


All the best,
