re: Great airport

Reply to @viennatech: "I tried to back taxi to Bravo and was told to turn around!" "Told", or "respectfully requested"? CYZR doesn't have a tower, so there's no ATC to boss you around. :)

Great airport

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.

Cleared Canadian Customs Here

Landed here after dark in Oct 04 to clear customs. Taxiways were very rough and ramp lighting was not very effective. The ramp attendant heard us fly in and drove over to let the Customs agent in the back gate and let us out after we were cleared. He drove us to our hotel afterward fuelling us - great service after a long day of flying.
