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.)
“The seagull’s wings shall dip and pivot him,
Shedding white rings of tumult, building high
Over the chained bay waters Liberty—
Then, with inviolate curve, forsake our eyes”
—Hart Crane (1899–1932)
“Airplanes are invariably scheduled to depart at such times as 7:54, 9:21 or 11:37. This extreme specificity has the effect on the novice of instilling in him the twin beliefs that he will be arriving at 10:08, 1:43 or 4:22, and that he should get to the airport on time. These beliefs are not only erroneous but actually unhealthy.”
—Fran Lebowitz (b. 1950)
