In relation to the Great Lakes International Airshow, which is held at this airport ... The airport is a key part of the Airshow (obviously) and steps up really well, with good facilities and services for the audience.

I was born in St.Thomas, raised on a farm west of Port Stanley, living now in New Brunswick. A pilot left my credit card in self serve reader, and the City of St.Thomas very kindly couriered it to me! Thanks very much, still one of the best airports I land at. Murray McCandless Sussex NB
