About This File
FS2004 Scenery--Gananoque CNN8 in Ontario, Canada. Gananoque is an ex-RCAF airfield 20 miles east of Kingston and Lake Ontario and five miles north of the Thousand Islands area of the St. Lawrence River and the US border. The airfield was a relief landing field for Kingston during WW2, and opened in 1940 with the classic triangle of runways. It closed in 1945 and is now a sky diving center, still with the original single hangar and control tower and now a white target circle. Fuel is no longer sold there so the only reason to pass by is to maybe go to visit the Thousand Islands area, or perhaps look at the Canso (Canadian name for the PBY Catalina) which is in the hangar. The runways and the taxiways and the apron are all still usable but in a state of random disrepair. This shows in the video; center lines and signage are luxuries. Includes a photo with runway headings indicated. By Roger Wensley.
