Airport has been completely renovated. Runway is even longer. New restaurant in main terminal. (along with a few snack machines)
Fuel costs as much as Greenbank - but is full serve here - and has fully stocked FBO!
Usually very busy - but also very friendly. Has a nasty backtrack for 09. (but most small GAs only backtrack the first 1/4 mile or so from Delta - and I have seen a few roll right from Delta)
Has grass strip too that even some of the twins will use...but can be soggy in spring or after good rain.
Neat collection of old wrecks in north corner, dc3, tri-pacer and a few other interesting derelicts.
Peterborough is used as one of the default cross-country destinations by Island Air flight school (and a bunch of others, I believe), so I've been there three times while working on my license. Overall perception - long, rather narrowish (for the length) runway, very friendly and useful unicom operator, cute little FBO hut and always something interesting flying around. A twin working on IFR training mission around the Peterborough NDB, Moonies, Bonanzas, Cubs, Robinsons, everything else GA landing and taking off - and ultimately a bunch of jets sitting at the airport where they get painted, refurbished! I like this airport, it has this comfortable feeling that everything is ok around it.

Good hangar space available for light and medium sized aircraft with Trillium Aviation Corp.
Spent the weekend with relatives. Parking = $8.00/night. Friendly FBO. Beautiful runway for an a/p of this tfc volume.
