Helped the flying club do a video with one last look at the airport the day it closed. Used a DJI drone ( with the airport managers permission). the video can be found here:

Thank-you for your questions, as they provide some interesting insights to the disconnect in this discussion. Perhaps caused by the relentless trolling from the anti-capitalist crowd on this forum, in order: Pickering is purposed as a utility airport ( see ASA report). On the low end, this...

Some more background on Buttonvilles future and what the timeframe is: https://pickeringairport.org/buttonville-to-pickering/ While it is possible that CF paid 2 million an acre to rebuild the airport into a london city style arrangement, it is unlikely. Buttonville will close, the question...

The SAF discussion is an important one to have, although difficult on this forum do to the political background noise and trolling. Unfortunately a common problem for anyone pointing out the advantages of aviation. I would like to highlight its relevance to Pickering Airport. The number of...

I am here for one simple reason, to seek out and understand different points of view. We live in a fragmented world of extremes where censorship, or the shout down is considered acceptable ( see above). Where people go out of their way to avoid or shout down anything that does not reinforce...

Literally more than a dozen references cited, here is a condensed picture version for the instagram folks. But I am fascinated by what motivates your trolling? Why promote such a fallacy that no references where provided? Why are you not embarrassed? most curious.

Some good questions: The advantages of air transportation over road is stark on both a regulatory and a technology level. Air travel is governed by a high regulated combination of federal authorities from each country working together at an international level through ICAO. Long term this...

Disprove my sources, you can start with the ICAO numbers. ( International Civil Aviation Organization, a United Nations Agency) or perhaps with the NACC (.National Airlines Council of Canada ).

As a few previous posts seemed confused over the issue, here is a good explanation of how air travel, using existing aircraft, is in the process of becoming the most environmental friendly way to travel...

Durham region, and it's own airport authority will be in charge. The GTAA is too old school to win this bid... But they can try!

Haven't forgotten my favourite folks, Here is the latest, have at it. https://pickeringairport.org/e-regional-air-freight/

Having a beer and reading your post after doing two flights today And I think I see the block. you just referenced midsize to large jet aircraft that are not commonly used on any of the short haul routes expected to be the target of the first generation of electric aircraft. Humm... it looks...

You got it! Pascan is the first Canadian airline to place an order for the ES-19. The first generation of electric will displace aircraft like the Saab340 and beech craft 1900. The Evtol are really better cheaper air taxi helicopters.

All the post have multiple references, 6 on one, 12 on the other. Try reading and thinking before Commenting next time If you wish to be taken seriously.

I got to admit that watching you guys talk to each other and reinforce your own false assumptions is an eye opener. A reminder to myself and other aviation ”propeller heads” tracking the building momentum in new aviation technology about the public perception /knowledge gap. You need to start...
