August 13, 201015 yr i live about 2 hour drive to CYEG (edmonton intl.) and about 1 hour 40 minutes to cyxd (edmonton city center) but if the city center closes its cooking lake about 2 hour drive but since i live in st albert it matters on the traffic -Brandon Danyluk CYEG The easiest part of flying is getting off the aircraft
August 13, 201015 yr Major airport: I live almost midway between CYVR (about 40 kilometers to the west) and CYXX (about 43 kilometers to the east).Man, you're a lucky one. Wish I could be there one day! Well what can I say. Three miles from EDDF close to some of those extended runway centerlines, that gives a good thousand feet for the folks above me on their finals. Nearest field is EDFE, couple more miles away though. Yeah, EDDF is actually whole lot closer, just had to recheck GMaps just to make sure.

August 14, 201015 yr Author Wow, lots of very interesting responces. I'm envious to some of your locations! I'm close enough to Boston that I have a plane overhead every minute or so and was just out on the porch talking to my sister and was asked if I was listening since I always seem to have my eyes on them haha. I would love to live as close as some of you do. I could sit and watch them all night.I think I may stay in tonight and just fly some of these airports and get even more envious :( i9 10920x @ 4.8 ~ MSI Creator x299 ~ 256 Gb 3600 G.Skill Trident Z Royal ~ EVGA RTX 3090ti ~ Sim drive = M.2 2-TB ~ OS drive = M.2 is 512-gb ~ 5 other Samsung Pro/Evo mix SSD's ~ EVGA 1600w ~ Win 10 Pro Dan Prunier
