There is a public beach across the road from this great airport that has very clear water. Having to turn around on the upwind side over sloping terrain was interesting. The poutine served at the restaraunt is excellent and the Piper Cherokee "windsock" is worth the trip to stop here.

Very friendly staff at the local flight school. Make sure that you land and taxi out on Alpha. I tried to back taxi to Bravo and was told to turn around! Otherwise was a great visit and the last stop on my 300 NM CPL cross country flight. They have 100LL pumped with a smile.

The aircraft parked here are so overgrown their landing gear is now part of the landscape. It looks like this was once a field with a Cessna population that is long gone. The runway is no longer a runway and is simply a road into the gas station. Too bad, it would have been fun!

Finally made it to this great little airport with the promised good eats. The flight from CYRO was a dream to plan and fly, arriving to the circuit do not expect to hear anything on the unicom if you call up in English. I made 3 field advisory requests with no response, joined mid downwind for 10 from the upwind side and did not see or hear any traffic. Upon landing a french flier came in and got the full treatment. Most pilots in the area give position reports in French. If you are totally anglo it makes for a bit of scare factor trying to sort out who is where.

I took a flight over there yesterday and it looks like some progress has been made since the last google earth pass. Will need to keep an eye on this one as an interesting place to be.
