Airport Not for Sale

 Sample picture

The Edmonton Municipal airport might be bought out by a calgary company who wants to build a office complex on it. If that happens we will lose much of our history. It is home to the Edmonton flying Club. I flew for the first time from this airport. If they tear down this airport a piece of my heart will go with it. 

Edmonton Terminal A 1943

Hangar 1 built 1931 and hangar 2 right built 1937 I think.

First Hangar built 1927

Arial view ??? year estimated 1935-1947







Main Liner DC3




Construction of hangar 2

Estimated 1952 Canadian Pacific terminal.



WW2 airforce Barracks

New WW2 aircraft repair and hangars.

First trans Canada hangar.

It's State Today.


It makes a great race track.

It is home to vintage aircraft

The control tower built 1977 I think.

beebs's Gravatar Wow I'm surprised to see a topic about THIS Edmonton issue on here LOL. Unfortunately I'd rather see the city center closed.. its usefulness ran out years ago. It's nice to keep a piece of history, but the amount of revenues the city could make in taxes, etc. makes the sale of the land 100% worth it.

And with an added bonus, the height restriction on downtown buildings would then be removed. ;)

danielcote's Gravatar The problem is where would the private planes go?
» Posted By danielcote | 6/17/09 6:50 PM
beebs's Gravatar There are many small airports around the city which could service these jets as well as the International Airport. There may be a minor inconvenience for a few, but in the grand scheme of things developing the lands with condo's and/or expanding NAIT would greatly benefit the city on many levels. Even if just for the $95 Million that can be earned annually just in taxes.
