'How Many Cities Have One Of "These"..?'

[Matt Wynn]

some of these make me want to pack my parachute and jump off them

You can jump off any of them. . . . once.

Yes I guess you could but I meant survivable!

that was a smart move, imo. they are talking about putting a tunnel under the lake so you don't have to ride the ferry in if you don't want to. at that point, if your bag is small, you could bring a folding bicycle and be in the hotel with no travel costs long before they could from pearson at any cost.
not sure what that turbo is, maybe a dash 8? but it flies over my house all the time.

It was a Dash 8, I have a friend who works for Air Canada reservations and I asked her to find me the least expensive flight from Saint John to Toronto, it was kind of a bet I had with some coworkers. It turned out the commuter from Saint John, to Halifax, then Montreal and finally to Toronto Island was less than half the cost of the direct flight. I know it is a lot of up and down, but I love take off's and landings so it was a bonus, not to mention not only did I win the bet (a 40 oz bottle of Ballantine's 21 years old De-Luxe Blend) but as I mentioned I skipped the baggage claim and taxi/limo hassles to get from Pearson to downtown. A few of our senior managers who travel a lot are doing the same thing when they can, and they all agree, Toronto Island is a much better entry point than Perason if you need to get downtown in a hurry.

Besides it really reminds me of the early days of MSFS and the default flight out of Meigs Field.
