Centralia / James T. Field Memorial Aerodrome
Centralia, formally James T. Field Memorial Aerodrome and coded YCE, sits near Huron Park in southwestern Ontario on the site of a former Royal Canadian Air Force training station. Today the aerodrome serves general aviation, gliding clubs, skydiving operations, and recreational pilots rather than any commercial air traffic. Its long, wide runways, a legacy of wartime pilot training infrastructure, make it well suited to soaring and parachute activities that require ample space and predictable approach paths. YCE carries historical significance as a reminder of Canada's British Commonwealth Air Training Plan efforts during the Second World War, and local aviation heritage groups maintain ties to the site. It remains a quiet but active hub for hobbyist flying in the region.
