Terrace Bay Airport (IATA: YTJ, ICAO: CYTJ) is an abandoned airport that was located 2.0 NM (3.7 km; 2.3 mi) north of Terrace Bay, Ontario, Canada.
Terrace Bay Council voted in 2005 to close the airport's runway, saving the community roughly $40,000 a year. Ministry of Natural Resources, Hydro and emergency helicopters will still have access to the facility year round.
Famous quotes containing the words terrace, bay and/or airport:
“A tree that can fill the span of a man’s arms
Grows from a downy tip;
A terrace nine stories high
Rises from hodfuls of earth;
A journey of a thousand miles
Starts from beneath one’s feet.”
—Lao-Tzu (6th century B.C.)
“Three miles long and two streets wide, the town curls around the bay ... a gaudy run with Mediterranean splashes of color, crowded steep-pitched roofs, fishing piers and fishing boats whose stench of mackerel and gasoline is as aphrodisiac to the sensuous nose as the clean bar-whisky smell of a nightclub where call girls congregate.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
“It was like taking a beloved person to the airport and returning to an empty house. I miss the people. I miss the world.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
