The airport serves as a Royal Canadian Air Cadets flying centre from May until October and as a flight training centre from June until the end of August each summer. Stored at Canadian Forces Detachment Mountain View, a geographically separated detachment of CFB Trenton located at the airport, are retired Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) aircraft.[2]

A new gravel runway was constructed in 2006 to train RCAF Lockheed CC-130 Hercules aircraft crews in landing on unprepared landing strips.
