Remarks: It is about 6:30pm and the sun had just set. CLX finally rumbles down the runway to return back to its base. Downtown Calgary looms from afar as winds continue to come from the west stretching the windsock to its limits. Most recognizable landmark in the city is Calgary tower standing 190m tall.
Remarks: No forest fires to drop its load on at this time of the year. Maybe its use can be to support city fire crews of dosing out fires from houses and businesses.
Remarks: Very cool to have the L188 in town. Unexpected visit oh yes. The pilot is waving at the group of photographers who happen to get in the action.
Remarks: Some good action caught on both film and digital NEF format.
Mark McWhirter displays his shooting poise as the WestJet crosses the keys and an Ac Airbus awaits.
Remarks: I am not into getting up early to be at the airport to see the 6:30am departure of this plane. This year its pushed back to 7:30am so its more of a relief.
