Pendleton Airport is located near the community of Pendleton, Ontario, Canada, east of Ottawa. The airfield is currently operated by the Gatineau Gliding Club.
History
During the Second World War, the airport participated in the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan, acting as a base for training air crews. While most of the airports involved in the plan have either closed or gone through extensive changes, Pendleton still preserves most of the original character of a BCATP airport: it has the original three short runways arranged in a triangle (though some are in disrepair), and several of the original WWII buildings, including the main hangar.
