Reply to @Izzy: Thank you for the information! I've marked the airport as open again.

177 BRACKLEY PT RD, Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island C1A 6Y9‎ - (902) 892-7983‎

Information by phone, 2010-07-28: Parking is free. AvGas is available from 8 am to 5 pm local time (otherwise, there's a callout charge): there's a chance that everyone will be up flying with students, so it might be necessary to wait for service. Park at the tie-down cable, using the painted lines to find the spots.

Thanks for the information -- I've entered it in the "Pilot Info" tab.

I know it can be rough for residents, but in most cases, the airports were there first and the cities have grown out and around them, so the people who buy the houses or sign the leases do so knowing that there's an airport nearby.

Of course, that assumes that real-estate agents are honest — I know one couple who bought a house right under the approach to CYYZ 24L, after being assured by their slimy agent that the airport used the runway only for emergencies (I guess the definition of "emergency" is "when the wind is blowing from the southwest"). It was cool for their kids watching the planes passing low over the park playground, though.

Received a report that this airport is closed, and the satellite view seems to confirm that.
