- This is a short episode of a flight we did form Greenbank, Ontario to Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport, also known as Toronto Island Airport, one of the most spectacular airports to fly into, where I had the privilege of starting my flight training back in 2001. Also we go for a walking tour of Downtown Toronto. And as a bonus we fly to Orillia Ramara Regional Airport for the 100 dollar hamburger, a place I found out about from Becki and Chris, check out their awesome CZcams channel: • The $100 Hamburger!
In this video series I hope to offer a glimpse into the challenges of preparing and actually flying across the Atlantic ocean, navigating over the remote northern landscapes and vast stretches of water, and experiencing breathtaking views that only a small plane can offer. Join me as I share insights into the planning and execution of this flight, including the joys and challenges faced along the way. Whether you're a seasoned pilot, an aviation enthusiast, or someone who dreams of adventure, this video series offers something for everyone. I hope you enjoy this journey as much as I did.

Thanks for the nostalgic re-visit. While flight training at Oshawa (CYOO) in 1986, I flew into/outoff Greenbank on several occasions as my Instructor used it for short-field/grass landings practice. A week after passing my Flight Test in July 1987, I took a friend as my first passenger in C-150 (CF-XSE) and had to make a precausionary landing at Greenbank due to high oil temperature (result of an aging guage). That fall, as part of the Toronto Flying Club we flew out of the island airport for a short period of time.
crazy you did your training there! and found the aircraft you trained in!
Wow. I taught at island air back in the mid 90’s!! Haven’t been back since. I didn’t recognize the airport at all
That airport location is really cool that you can walk into downtown. I wish Chicago still had their downtown airport that was on the lake there.
I was in shock to see the LY- prefix! Wild!
Outstanding video Sir Cheers 😇😇👍👍🍻🍻
The ferry is still in service and alternative to using undergrpund link..love city airport!
Tomai!! This popped up out of nowhere, cool channel ;) looks like you really are living the dream out there, glad to see! :P
Ačiū Pranai!
I flew into the city center airport a couple of years ago. I was on my way to Oshkosh... I live in Utah... Must have been a navigation error. It is an awesome airport, but a bit too busy for primary training in my opinion. That was my first and so far the only airport in Canada.
funny, I fly back to St. Catharines and see the airplanes I started flying in 1977.
Yo.- how much was the bill for landing and all the fees at CYTZ ‽
Was way better before porter blocked the view of the airport from the land side. Seems their pax don't want to know their on a plane. Used to be a great Ga airport.
Great video! How much do they charge you to park your plane at ytz for an afternoon?
It cost me $45 to land last year. Just stayed for an hour, so not sure of the parking rates.
Except the expensive landing fee, and now there’s a notam denying entry into their control zone for non commercial non scheduled flights for the whole summer. unless your based out of there.
The NOTAM for the summer just says you need a PPR for sightseeing and VFR flights. They activate additional NOTAMs to deny various other flights for the day depending on expected traffic and staffing constraints.
So depending on the day, you may be able to transit through.
