CZYY – Mont Joli Airport, Quebec
CZYY – Mont Joli Airport. Mont-Joli Airport is located 1.5 nautical miles (2.8 km) north northwest of Mont-Joli, Quebec, Canada. In the summer of 1940 the Royal Canadian Air Force selected a flat area of farmland between Mont-Joli Station (on the Montreal-Halifax Canadian National Railway mainline) and the Saint Lawrence River for a military airfield. Construction on the aerodrome began in October 1941 and was completed by April 1942 at a cost of $200,000. Three paved runways and 50 buildings were constructed for what became known as RCAF Station Mont-Joli. By Daniel Louvet
