Ottawa / Rockcliffe Airport — Ottawa, Canada

Ottawa / Rockcliffe Airport, coded YRO, sits along the Ottawa River within the capital city itself, distinct from the larger Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport. Historically significant as one of Canada's earliest airfields, Rockcliffe once housed Royal Canadian Air Force operations and now primarily serves general aviation, flight training, and the Canada Aviation and Space Museum located adjacent to the field. YRO's compact runway accommodates light aircraft, gliders, and vintage warbirds maintained by local aviation enthusiasts and historical societies. The airport's proximity to downtown Ottawa and its deep RCAF heritage make it a favorite among pilots and aviation historians exploring the capital region's flying past.
