Remarks: At the Runway Run 2012, we had a different plane. This little Embraer instead of the AC A319 with the Kids Horizons colours. We also had the usual Fedex 752F and a planned but cancelled CF-18 fly by. It was a successful event nonetheless! Can't wait for next year!
Remarks: Antonov 144 foxtrot arrives from BLA via rwy 23 on a very hot day. First time I see the An-124 in YYZ, although it has been here over 3 years ago.
Remarks: It was such a treat to see the IL-96 along with a IL-62 in town that day. Here is State Aero 041 (RSD 041) on short final rwy 23 in the evening. Such a graceful Russian bird..
Remarks: I couldn't believe my eyes, an IL-62 in YYZ. Something I saw back in 2010 for the G20 summit but never got pictures. Spin Arrow 043 (RSD043) arrives rwy 24L after a long haul flight from Russia, while earlier arrived an IL-96. The reason the Russians came to Toronto, I never found out. It was a treat to see this classic.
Remarks: ) Air Canada 872 holds short on Delta on this beautiful day, ready to depart to Frankfurt FRA on rwy 06L. Dedicated for Max Lezin, as he was on this flight, but couldn't see me! Sorry I didn't wave! I hope you had a good flight. I actually got stopped by security for the very first time here at the 06L spot, that usually doesn't happen. During the 10 minute conversation, I snapped this shot luckily.
