Hard to believe he was short of fuel as Smith Falls to Goderich is about 250 nm and he had only flown about 160 nm (Smith Falls to Alliston) when he became concerned for fuel -- unless he took off with less than full tanks.
That would be one big headwind, even for a C-150.
But if you are flying towards Brampton from the North, you will spot YYZ first even though Brampton is closer
