King City Airport was an airport located in King City, Ontario, Canada, north of Toronto. It was located on the northeast intersection of Highway 400 and the King–Vaughan Town Line. The site was purchased by K. J. Beamish Construction Co., which now uses the facility and the former control tower as its head office.
From the air, the runway is still visible, but all markings have been removed. The control tower is still intact and used as offices.

And seeming lavish, sav’de her maydenhead.
Ne’re king more sought to keepe his diademe;
Than Hero this inestimable gemme.”

There sweet sleep is not for the weary brain;
The pitiless hours like years and ages creep,”
