Private airfield. I believe you need 24 hrs PPR.

If Buttonville is closing where will the all the private GA aircraft go? The article in the Star said there are 170 aircraft there. Is there another small, GA airport in the GTA?
In the wake of the announced Buttonville closure, it might make sense to revisit allowing some limited GA/Executive traffic at Downsview. Other than Pearson, there aren't any airports anywhere near the city that can support a full-size bizjet. Thoughts?
I may be wrong but wasn't Oshawa mentioned as taking over that role?
With the current and future rezoning of all the surrounding lands into med-density neighbourhoods, opening up Downsview to air traffic will be a non-starter due to the Fordite NIMBYs in this portion of the city.
I live in the area, and I can hear Bombardiers testing going on every now and then. Have a commercial airport with regular flights would make sleeping a little difficult. Other than that,
Were you aware of the airport before deciding to move up here?

How can you have airplanes taking off especially with the condos going up. Those planes fly low. I sure would not wamt to live in one of those condos especially on the higher floors with those planes flying so low.
