Airbus 340-600?

Another great spotting time!!

First interesting airplane, an former TAP A-310 (the last one of TAP's fleet) is coming for Air Transat

And it's a collector's picture, already with a Canadian registration (C-GTSW) and no TAP's logo...
By the way, winter is coming...

Westjet "James Bond"?

Due to a smoke alert in the cargo hold, this Airbus made an emergency landing on the 06L while all take-off and landing were done on the 24R (So he's landed in opposite

direction of runway 24R)

Is it big?

Air France (F-GITC), the same plane which slipped out of the runway a couple of days before is trying again to draw eyes on him by making a strange final...

Jumping landing!

And finally, the two last pictures before sunset...

Spotting this Saturday...

What a day!!!

After two nights of work, I checked on yulaviation forum if something interesting is coming at the airport... I saw that a KC-10 was there, and the KLM's flight was done by a 747... It doesn't need more things for me to go there and take pictures! :)

Yes! An other surprise, Swiss with Star Alliance colour theme... This plane (HB-IQR) will fly for Lufthansa soon.

As usual, the second AF 747 from Paris is coming, but when I took this one, I really don't know what will happen...

When the other AF 747 going on the runway 24R for take off, this 737 of Westjet done a
go-around...

I look at the end of the runway... And I saw something abnormal...

In fact, the plane from Paris went out of the runway (just the nose wheel on the grass)I just want to know what was the feeling in the plane which is returning to Paris...

With the runway 24R-06L closed, planes haven't got the choose to take off on the o6R... In fact, the taxi-way for 24L is closed for work... They have to take-off with a little back-wind.

Second go-around of this day! That was done by Air Algerie. One 777 of Air Canada was taxiing on the only runway available for heavies...

Approch for the second time (Note in background the KC-10 on the deicing pad, and the AC 777)

Another view...

And finally, KLM 747 at take off...

That's a little bit more exciting than sleeping... :)

Other thing, the day before, a B777 from Air France too was staying of the ground of Montreal airport because he had a problem with the air intake of one of his engine... So currently, we have two sick Air France plane at YUL... Don't we say never 2 without 3? We will see that tonight :)
