Default Niagra Falls and Quebec

Canadian side or American side airports?

Closest on the Canadian side would be the St Catherines / Niagara Regional
(CYSN) (http://www3.sympatico.ca/ndairport/) , about 10 miles from the Falls
and the folks at the flying club there are very friendly. On the American
side either Buffalo Intl (KBUF) or Niagara Falls Intl (KIAG) are the
closest.

There are very specific procedures for scenic overflight of the falls from
the Canadian side and you need to consult the Candian Flight Supplement for
procedures, routes, and frequencies. My info says there's a TFR on the
American side you need to be aware of also.

Bunch of restaurants with a view of the Falls

Which airport and FBO to use at Niagara Falls?
How far is each airport from the Falls?
Is there transportation to see the Falls?
Is there a restaurant that overlooks the Falls?

What are the recommendations for FBO's to use at Quebec?

No landing fees
No other fees for "regular" use

If you fuel at this FBO, I think ther is no parking fees. Otherwise, you can
park at our local flying club (Les Ailes Québecoises) just in front of Esso.
First night is free, 10$ par night after the first one.

All the best,

Thanks Paul!
That's probably who I will use.

Any suggestions on how best to transport a family of four to the Old
City from the FBO?
