The Vancouver Harbour Heliport as seen looking east from the Canada Place cruise ship terminal. The heliport was floated into position on October 10, 1986 and is anchored to the shore by two footbridges, with a couple small buildings onshore serving at a passenger terminal and office. On this day, a Helijet S-76C+ was practicing Cat A vertical takeoffs from the heliport, which was very unusual to see. This was during a flurry of activity when Transport Canada told Helijet to stop landing a seven H1 hospital helipads in urban areas because of a preceived safety issue, which was soon resolved.

With the closure of the Bomarc missile base in 1971, RCAF La Macaza became the site of a prison in 1978 and the adjacent airport opened for civilian use. Growth of the Mont-Tremblant resort (40-60 minutes away by road) saw customs facilities added in 2000 and Porter Airlines introduce seasonal Dash 8-400 service from Toronto (YTZ). The airport has a small chalet-style terminal building along the east side of the airport, south of the prison. The La Macaza airport is home for a small number of light aircraft and hosts a large number of business aircraft during the winter and summer.

In 1962, the Royal Canadian Air Force opened at airport near the town of La Macaza, 110 miles north of Montreal, Quebec. The 6,000 ft runway was constructed as an emergency landing field and to provide access to a base next to the airport which became home for 447 Squadron armed with 29 nuclear tipped CIM-10 Bomarc surface-to-air missiles which were part of NORAD defences (the other Bomarc unit was at RCAF North Bay, ON). The Bomarc was retired in 1971, the missile base turned into a prison in 1978, and the airport upgraded in 2000 to serve the nearby Mont-Tremblant ski resort.

In 1951, Okanagan Helicopters of British Columbia started offering mountain flying training to helicopter pilots from its base at Vancouver Airport. In the mid-1950s the school moved to Penticton in the Okanagan Valley (which had better weather) when it won significant pilot training contracts from the RCAF, US Army and French military, followed by many other nations. This is the entrance to the school's $5 million, state-of-the-art building 20,000 sq ft facility which opened in 2012 which it was also rebranded "HNZ Topflight" by owner Canadian Helicopters. The HNZ name was later dropped.

In 2012, Canadian Helicopters reined the school "Topflight" and moved into a new $5 million, state-of-the-art building 20,000 sq ft facility next door.

The Lake St. John Aerodrome was established more than 60 years ago by RCAF veterans as a combined airport and seaplane base 12.0 km; (7.5 mi) northeast of Orillia, Ontario. It's still one of the few combined land & seaplane facilities in southern Ontario.Current owner Clayton Smith has investing $2 million in airport improvements and built several new hangars. The photo shows the Orillia Aviation offices and maintenance hangar in December 2015 prior to a major renovation that added a restaurant. It's now known as the Orillia Rama Regional Airport (CNJ4/CNV6). https://flyorillia.ca/the-airport/

PH-BTH was delivered to KLM in October 1997. To Kenya Airways in July 2010 as 5Y-KYM. To Jambojet in March 2014. To Mid Africa Aviation in October 2015 as C5-MAE, immediately leased to Tarco Air.

This hangar was constructed by Canadian Pacific Air Lines in the late 1950s to maintain its fleet of Bristol Britannia airliners. It was later used by Pacific Western Airlines, AirBC and the aviation campus of the British Columbia Institute of Technology, which was the tenant when this photo was taken in August 2008. The wartime Boeing Aircraft of Canada PBY Catalina factory was once located to the south (left) of this hangar until demolished in the mid-1970s. Boeing's wartime PBY flight test hangar located to the east is still used by companies like Pacific Coastal and Aeroflite/Harbour Air.

Construction of the Trans-Canada Airway system commended in 1933 as an unemployment relief scheme during the Depression that employed 6,000 men building a coast-to-coast network of airports in Canada to facilitate air services. Most of the airports were constructed at 50 mile intervals with Emsdale airport(CNA4) constructed on the airway between Toronto and North Bay, Ontario. The airport and hangar date from 1935. The Royal Norwegian Air Force used Emsdale as a relief airport when it moved its flight training school from Toronto Island Airport to Muskoka Airport (YQA) in 1942.

Ontario's Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) has operated aircraft in Algonquin Park since the 1920s. The hangar at the Smoke Lake Airbase on the south side of Highway 60 was constructed in 1939. It has been the home of a DHC-2 Beaver or DHC-2 Mk III Turbo Beaver since the Ontario Provincial Air Service (OPAS) - the launch customer for both - took deliver of its first Beaver in 1948. Turbo Beaver C-FOEH has been based here for 20+ years, but is maintained at Muskoka Airport. With the introduction of amphibious floats in the 1990s, the docks at the air base were removed.

Aerial photo from a R44 of some of the 34 helicopters that attended the 2019 HeliClub fly-in at Saint-Jovite airport near the Mont-Tremblant resort, Quebec. HeliClub is the brainchild of HelicoStore, which was founded in 1992, and established the club for Quebec helicopter owner-pilots. The 1,006 metre (3,300 foot) turf airport was established in the early 1920s by F.H. "Tom" Wheeler to welcome fly-in visitors to the family's Gray Rocks hotel, the first resort in the Laurentian mountains and the first resort in Canada to operate an aircraft. It was also the birthplace of Wheeler Airlines.

RCAF Picton was built as part of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan (BCATP) on a high plateau overlooking the town of Picton. It was home for the RAF's No. 31 Bombing & Gunnery School when it officially opened in April 1941. The school operated Anson, Battle, Bolingbroke and Lysander aircraft and offered six-week courses in bombing, navigation and air gunnery until it was disbanded in Nov. 1944. The wartime film "Captain of the Clouds" was partially shot here. It's one of the few airports in Canada with most of its wartime buildings intact and also home for an Air Cadet gliding school.

Endeavour: NASA's Youngest Shuttle, OV-105 - the fifth and final space shuttle to be built. Endeavour flew into space 25 times. Among other career highlights, its crew members performed the first Hubble Space Telescope servicing mission. In this picture, Endeavour is being prepared for its next mission on launch pad LC-39A. The launch of mission STS-123 was on March 11, 2008. Endeavour will remain on display in the California Science Center, only an hour's drive from Palmdale, where its journey to space began.

The original Georgian Bay Airways passenger terminal and offices in Parry Sound Harbour pictured here were replaced by a new terminal, offices and waterfront restaurant in 2020-2021.

This new Georgian Bay Airways floatplane terminal, office and waterfront restaurant opened in Parry Sound Harbour in 2020-2021 (exact date unknown). The owner also has Lake Country Airways and the Orillia-Rama airport on Lake St. John which has a similar aviation-themed restaurant.
