GA Airport closest to mississauga

[shakti]

Hello,

I'm planning to fly from BED to Toronto, and am looking for the GA
airport closest to Mississauga that has good FBO facilities (fuel and
overnight parking)

Any other flying advice is also appreciated.

Thanks.

Your best bet is probably CYTZ Toronto Island (Toronto City Center)
http://www.torontoport.com/airport_contact.asp

Although it is right in the heart of the city traffic and you have to take a
dumb little ferry across 400 feet of water... you will be close to the
freeway than runs through the heart of Mississauga.


Others in the area are:
CZBA Burlington http://www.burlingtonairpark.com/bap.htm
CNC3 Brampton http://www.flybrampton.com/airport/contact.htm
CNC4 Guelph http://www.tigerboys.com/
CYKF Waterloo http://www.waterlooairport.ca/contact.shtml

CZBA is the closest but a 2800 foot runway, and probably the weakest
facilities of the bunch... you'd have to check with the contacts to see if
it suits you. I know nothing about it.

The others are on the west side of Toronto, like Mississauga, but are all at
least as far away as CYTZ.

Don't forget Buttonville (CYKZ), sitting right next to HWY 404 and HWY 407 -
a direct line to Mississauga. It also has the best facilities (Customs, FBO,
etc.).
It may be the farthest away by distance, but might be the easiest when it
comes to reaching Mississauga.

Easiest in terms of directions (Hwy. 401) but the most congested highway in
the entire country!!

You might want to try Brampton -- closest in distance, or Burlington
Executive.

Checking the Terminal chart, Brampton airport is considerably farther from
downtown Mississauga than is Toronto City Centre. Only Burlington is
closer.

Make the number landings equal the number of takeoffs.

Keep the dirty side down.

Don't taxi any faster than you can walk.

Always check your fuel caps after refueling.

I wouldn't want to be taking the Lakeshore/QEW out of Toronto if I could
avoid it. I'd suggest Brampton, although I've never landed there. I
lived in Brampton, and it's a pretty quick shot down Hwy 10 to
Mississauga.

Brampton may be farther in distance, but in time? Much less traffic.
