Barrie-Orillia (Lake Simcoe Regional Airport)

Updated the Pilot info (actually the runway in now 6001' long... but what is a foot between users).

As of the end of Oct. 2010 the Runway is now 6000' x 100' with a partial parallel taxiway.

Top-notch business airport. Terminal is much bigger inside than it looks from the outside. There is some GA life in and around, but it is obviously built for the big bucks and biz jets. Unicom is helpful and all the services are in place, just don't expect that cozy feeling of the local aviation community, etc. Lake Simcoe is a totally different category - and aparently a good one in what it is.

This is my home airport. I fly with Future Air. Excellent service, well maintained.

The staff there are great but the airport in general seems to be more concerned with the corporate jet scene. Avgas is expensive ~1.55L + GST. I usually go to collingwood because it is usually much cheaper! Good runway to practice on, there are two flight schools there Future Air and Canadian Flyers International.
