Some "heavy"

Today, the last AC'340 made a small roll... You can see him with a brother, an A330.

Now, this one is flying for Iberia (EC-KSE)

Spotting under the snow...

Desipite of a bad light for pictures, I still wanted to enjoy the great temperature of the day (only -4°C, that's hot for this period :) By the way, there was also an unusual visitor...

It was the general tour of anti-freeze fluid ...

This B734 of Swift Air brought the Kings of LA. This was the same company used by McCain during the US presidential, but not the same plane. The aircraft that had been used by the Republican was N802TJ...

Luck or bad luck??

Yesterday, the flight of Royal Air Maroc between Casablanca and Montreal has been made by the only B747 of the company (which is generally used to transport the king Mohammed VI). My spotting session was planned when I knew that it will take off the next day at 11am. In the morning there were a beautiful sun, -16 ° C and I waited near the runway 24 left for 45 minutes ... After his visit to the deicing pad, this rare 747 began to roll to the opposed runway, the 24 right ... Too bad... we can not have everything ...

First spotting of '09 with a nice visitor!

It's with a beautiful sunny and freezing cold day that I started my 2009 season of spotting. With the advent OAI's DC-10, it took me no more to go brave the wind and blowing snow low ...
By the way, I also took some rented planes... The first is from TUIfly (Germany) for Canjet.

Windy spotting (gust @ 49 knots)

My great idea of the day was to walk 5 km on icy sidewalks and streets, dotted with huge puddle of water, all with gusts of wind near of 90km/h...
