Downsview Airport

[wpstinson1963]

Can anyone tell me if the Downsview Airport is still in use today for aviation purposes? Since the military base was mostly closed and Bombardier has sold it's operation to Viking Air and is based in BC Canada.

Thank You

I still hear comm's from there on 126.2 .
You also see the odd Bombardier aircraft going in and out, in their primer green paint schemes.
I've also seen the YRPD helicopter in there refuelling, which one wouldn't expect.

Occasionally my mum who lives at Bathurst and Roselawn sees and hears planes from Downsview. Even back in the 90's when I lived there it was rare to see and hear anything from there.

They used to identify as "Downsview Traffic" on that frequency for anyone in the area. Not sure if that is still the case.
