Red Deer Regional Airport

This airport has had it's ups and downs over the decades and recently it has been more of a downward trend. At times in the past it would host an airshow and have the occasional large flight along with smaller providers.

Still over that period it has slowly trended upwards.

A lot of the buildings are looking tired and it's hard to tell just how many of the businesses are still operating. The facilities at the actual terminal are a bit limited but this is a regional airport.

There are some notable operators out of here such as Buffalo Air which had a television stint for a while and Airspray which is a water bomber outfit.

Sometimes it's a nice spot to take a drive to. You can get fairly close to the runway terminations on the nearby roads.

I just went there to meet someone.

Nice comfy chairs,free carts..no stress!!

Friendly FSS personnel. Maneuvering surfaces are all in great shape, and there are plenty of amenities in the terminal building (for pilots). The only issue is the distance into Red Deer.
