About philippe
I used to be in the information technology field, but as a consequence of my mid-life crisis I now own and manage Dorval Aviation, a flight school and charter operator based at CYUL. We have C172s for rent, as well as a C172 floatplane during the summer (May-October) season. Don't hesitate to contact me if you need info and tips about flying in the Montreal area.
philippe's latest comments
Drummondville airport is also a float base - there is a dock on the river with a fuel pump just across the road near the treshold of runway 20.
The airport's owner is also the US importer for the Beriev 103, a unique Ukrainian twin engine amphibian. It seats six, floats on its hull and its wing roots, and the two engines are mounted on pods aft of the wing. There is usually one of these on the field.
A self-serve fuel pump with credit card reader is available.
This is an abandoned former cold war military runway which is still in better shape than some places where I've had to pay landing fees. It's right by highway 117 if you need to be rescued.
Popular fuel stop on your way up north.
The only seaplane base that has public fuel in the Quebec city area. Lac St-Augustin is closer to downtown but they don't take visitors anymore.
