Goose Bay WAS NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT part of the "lend-lease" agreement.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.197.82.203 (talk • contribs) 2006-08-17

[edit] Airport Closed

DND has closed this airport. Right? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Apassley (talk • contribs) 00:52, 22 February 2007 (UTC).

According to [DND] dated 03 Oct 07:

Formerly geared to support allied military flying training, 5 Wing is evolving to meet the challenges of the 21st century. 5 Wing staff are actively working to enhance the training opportunities at Goose Bay and market our facilities to national and international clients.

Sounds like it is still open to me! - Ahunt (talk) 13:09, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Space Shuttle Landing Site

This article has now twice had text inserted indicating that it is an alternate landing site for the Space shuttle and twice I have removed it. Global Security has a list of Space Shuttle landing sites and none of them are in Canada. If someone has a better ref that shows that Goose is indeed a Space Shuttle landing site then let's by all means put the information and that reference back in. Until someone can show a ref that says it is true I consider it an Urban legend and it doesn't belong in an encyclopedia
