Finally came close enough to get a good shot!

Apparently this is chartered by the US Gov't as a Troop Transport sometimes.

Former SAS leased 717.

Not sure what to think of this shot. Handheld at 1/30... I like the blur but twilight makes the colours look off. Probably should have shot it in RAW.

I'd never seen a Vickers VC-10 before! So this was cool to see some vintage iron.

I've flown one of these BO-105s when I was younger on the West Coast.

I think Thomas Cook has been using YYR to refuel before and/or after going over the pond. Saw two today and one yesterday.

I took this image of a cormorant landing and posted on a bird photographers' site. One of the participants came back with this edit and I had to share it!

OH MAN! snagged a beauty today! A Swedish Air Force S102B Korpen... Electronic Intelligence Gulfstream IV. These babies are rarely out of Sweden apparently.

I work at a small airport and this came in the other day and stuck around for a few days. It is a Noorduyn Norseman. The older couple flying it must of worked on it hard or payed lots to make it look the way it does. Its flawless up close and was my first time seeing a radial engine on a small plane. Used to DC-3's and DC-4's being around with their noisy radial engines but this was a nice change.
