Niagara Central Dorothy Rungeling Airport

Great little aerodrome for G/A aircraft. Excellent for students learning to fly with very light traffic on most weekdays. Staff is more than accommodating as far as parking is concerned. Self serve 100 LL is very reasonably priced.

Great regional airport that deserves to be funded fully by the Niagara Region. Rental planes are leftovers from St. Catharines Flying Club. Niagara Central deserves the same standard of equipment.

Nice Airport, Fewer aircraft, cheap gasoline fee

Niagara Central Dorothy Rungeling Airport or Welland/Niagara Central Dorothy Rungeling Aerodrome, (TC LID: CNQ3), is a registered aerodrome located 3.5 nautical miles (6.5 km; 4.0 mi) west of Welland, Ontario, Canada. Niagara Central accommodates a flight school, skydivers, aerial photographers, itinerant light aircraft and an automatic weather station. It was built in 1940 by the Royal Canadian Air Force as part of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan and served as the relief airfield for the No. 6 Service Flying Training School in nearby Dunnville.

The airport is the home of the 87th Eagle Squadron of the Royal Canadian Air Cadets who have training and administration space in the airports former meeting place of Welland Fire Company Number 1. The Southern Ontario Gliding Centre (SOGC) of the Royal Canadian Air Cadets also utilize the airport for spring and fall familiarization flights for the cadets.

In 1995, various members of Fonthill Branch 613 of the Royal Canadian Legion lobbied to have the airport renamed "Bud Kerr Welland Airport" in recognition of a local World War II Spitfire fighter pilot, but were unsuccessful. In 2015 the airport was renamed Niagara Central Dorothy Rungeling Airport, in honour of the legendary Canadian pilot Dorothy Rungeling, CM .

A quaint little place where you can learn skydiving and do it over the Niagara Falls. The Falls is a sight to behold up in the sky when you cross USA borders without going through customs! Certainly worth a visit for the adventurous 😀
