| Herb's Field C417 near Ottawa in Ontario, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Herb's is on the 417 between Ottawa and Montreal at the junction with highway 34, which is south of Hawkesbury. Herb's is a truckstop and a repair garage and a restaurant and a gas station, and is still (but only just!) an airfield. Which is to say there is still a runway, some 1,200 feet long and 30 feet wide. Do not go in your Cessna 172 as only the northern half is usable, and that after inspection from the air for any obstacles, parked cars, dogs, and similar obstacles. The southern half is the way in for trucks and cars, so make sure you can stop well before the ex-hangar which is now for truck repairs only. The planes all belonged to Herb's father, and even a casual inspection will reveal that they haven't moved for some time. If there is anything using the service road immediately to the north of the runway go around again, you won't be able to clear a vehicle and then land on the threshold.

| Smiths Falls CYSH near Ottawa in Ontario Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Smiths Falls airfield is four miles east of the town of Smiths Falls and some 30 miles southwest of Ottawa. In bad visiblity it can be found by following the multiple power lines that run east-west half a mile or a mile north of the airfield. There are 45 hangars on the airfield and I have run out of time for modelling the last ten; I will get to them, but later. All of the hangars in the front line visible from the runway have been newly modeled specifically for this, along with the radio shed, gas pump shed, odds-and-ends shed, flying club office, and the new clubhouse, making 40 buildings in all. The old clubhouse burnt down in the summer of 2006, and the concrete slab is still there beside the car park. The new building cannot be anything other than an improvement.

| Carleton Place airfield CNR6 near Ottawa in Canada, a REVISED version |
|
File Description:
Carleton Place was modelled a year ago and posted. This version has a new grass background which is more realistic and also supports winter snow. This is the first in an updated series of sceneries around Ottawa, and it replaces entirely the previous version, which should be deleted.

| Carp CYRP updated, near Ottawa in Ontario Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This version updates the post of 2006 with specifically modelled buildings for the east apron, plus a new AFCAD file. This is a stand-alone version and does not require you to have downloaded and installed the previous post. Carp airfield is fifteen miles west of Ottawa and two miles south of the town of Carp. There are two runways, 10/28 which is asphalt and almost 4,000 feet long and 100 feet wide, and 04/22 which is gravel and 2,000 feet long. The airfield has a fairly large polulation of general aviation residents and two years ago was expanding under new ownership, with a new terminal building and a large hangar opened and the "Touch'n Go" aviation warehouse that has opened more recently. The first version of Carp really included only the west apron, as that is where all (or almost all) the general aviation is located. I "represented" the east apron buildings without modelling any of them. This version corrects that, and the modeled east apron buildings are the HQ of Helicopter Transport Services Inc. and the adjacent Bell Helicopter service hangar, and the old First Air hangar and offices which are now under new ownership. The smaller hangars on the other side of the apron belong to chapter 245 of the Experimental Aircraft Association.

| Rideau Lakes airfield CRL2 near Ottawa in Canada, a REVISED version |
|
File Description:
Rideau Lakes was made and posted a year ago and this version has a revised grass background which looks more realistic and supports snow. The latter is important for Canadian sceneries. This is the second in a series of revised Ottawa area sceneries, and this version replaces the first one which should be deleted, if you already have it.

| St Andre-Avellin CAA2 in Quebec Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
St Andre-Avellin is a new airfield in Quebec Canada, 35 miles east of Ottawa and 10 miles north of the Ottawa River, and just northwest of the village of the same name. There is a 03/21 grass runway that is 2,870 feet long and slopes up towards the north. To show this slope I have not "placed" a grass runway (which would immediately flatten the slope) and anway there is not so much traffic that the grass would be notably marked. Because of the lack of an FS-recognised runway I have not made parking or a traffic file as AI would not work; anyway this airfield with constant activity would not reflect reality. There are no facilities at the airfield except a hangar for the owner and space to park.

| Killaloe CYXI near the Ottawa River in Ontario Canada |
|
File Description:
Killaloe is an old military airfield built for jet fighters in the 1950's,and now officially abandoned. It is 12 miles north of Madawaska Valley Airpark and just to the west of Round Lake, and there is no trouble spotting it as even from 20,000 feet (see the pic) it is very visible. This is mainly because it has a single 6,600 feet runway 29/11, which is likely to be useful if it all goes quiet and you need to land! So it is worth knowing about, even though the asphalt is not in a very good condition. It also continues to be used by the odd passing pilot who cannot resist adding another destination to his log book, though I have no personal knowledge of that. I understand local residents also use it for occasional drag racing, presumably unofficially.

| Pontiac Airpark CPC7 in Quebec Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Pontiac Airpark is in Quebec on the north bank of the Ottawa River, some 20 miles northwest of Ottawa in Canada. It is a new airfield and in fact is still under construction, though the east-west runway has been in use since late last year. This east-west runway is 3,400 feet long and gravel, though it will later be lighted, and then asphalted. The second runway will be just under 2,000 feet and unlighted gravel, and at its southern end there are docks for float planes. The float base is already in use; CPC7 is the ICAO code for the float base. There are lots for sale, and the idea is to build your house right on the airfield so there is no driving necessary between house and plane, thus leaving more time for what is important. There will be updates as things progress.

| Bank Farm Farm Field CF09 near Ottawa in Ontario, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Bank Farm field is in Ontario and around 11 miles south and a bit east of Ottawa airport, just west of Bank Street that wriggles its way south out of Ottawa. There is a grass runway 08/26 (actually 085/265) that is 2,600 feet long, and the grass could not possibly be better. A small (and old) hangar is now only used to house the farm owner's Cessna 172 during the winter. There is a large (and also old) barn and the house is right on the approach to the runway from the east; approach 08 between the barn and the house and straightens it out on very short finals.
The hangar, barn, and house are modeled specifically for this scenery, as was the log pile.

| Indian Creek Farm Field CF07 near Ottawa in Ontario, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Indian Creek farm field (Re-upload WITH THE MISSING TEXTURES!) is in Ontario and southeast of Ottawa, less than two miles east of two other real-life farm fields I have already posted (Russell Farm, and Russellette Strip). The creek is just north of the runway in the trees, though it doesn't show in FS with or without Ultimate Terrain.
There is a grass runway 08/26 that is 2,100 feet long and has lights; the grass could be better (I mean there could be more of it) but the drainage is good. There is a large hangar that is right by the house and is heated (wow!); this is for the owner. There are also eight other hangars which are slightly basic and without doors, which means boxes over the wheels so the tires don't get chewed by the wild life and canvas hangar fronts for the winter. All the hangar buildings are modeled specifically for this scenery. The runway has been there for 22 years, and before that (though with a large gap between) there was a military grass strip as a relief field for nearby Pendleton .
