I took it on today’s afternoon from a spot inside the Concourse D by the Gate 33, as we were anxiously waiting for a Horizon Air Flight 2233 final call.
Soon it became obvious there’s no chance to get on this flight as the ’stand-by travelers’, - it was totally packed, so we left the air side, listed ourselves for an early morning flight, and went back home.
Attempt #1 failed.
This trend - to put the airlines’ names on the aircraft bodies - emerged a few years ago. Guess, it’s mostly with respect to ‘marketing’ rather than ‘design art’.
However, it is so easy - just type OASISHONGKONG.COM - and here you are.
I guess, they are bound to have such a meeting one day. It is amazing, how smaller and smaller this world is becoming!
And now I’m going to to pass a ‘Hello’ from a Mars pilot to Beriev pilots.
The only problem is all active Beriev pilots now out of their bases, posted to somewhere else (around Europe), pretty busy fighting fires, including those ones ravaging in Greece.
This set of photos is dated to the last year’ ’shooting season’.
Once in a while I would go to work a little bit earlier than it’s necessary, and sometimes this tactic yields some noteworthy results. Actually, I’ve already accumulated quite a collection of interesting photos taken at such occasions. And there’s been an attempt to start a respective ’series’ made in this post.
At last I’ve made a ‘debut flight’ to Charlottetown. I’ve heard about the place quite a bit - from fellow WJ pilots familiar with Atlantic Canada, from my Flickr contact ‘Mabel&Charlotte.
I also flew over, at around 40.000 feet, but never did a one trip ‘with landing’ at YYG.
And it happened yesterday!
(I’ll post more pictures from this trip)
Let it be the ‘Mountain Flying Guide’: here’s just a quick tour at 39-40 thousand feet over the Rockies
It was such a beautiful day today, and Rockies were showing off in all their beauty as we shuttled back and forth betwen Edmonton and Vancouver
There is always a chance to see something interesting at the Calgary International Airport. Less than two weeks ago I ’spotted’ English Vickers VC-10..
..and yesterday it appeared again
Well, it may be said with regard to any airport though. But as long as I start my pairings from Calgary, I respectively collected more information on what’s going on around our airport.
So, if you lost your bearings - use this pole, track yourself down on the map. You may find it would also be a good spot for various kinds of ‘fresh starts’ 
I tell you, come to Newfoundland, regain your connections with the world, and start over again!
Them guys in Newfoundland seem to know how to found and settle life on the solid rock.
September, the 1st. Calgary International Airport.
I was heading towards Gate 48 in the concourse D to join my crew for the first pairing in this month, and all of a sudden I noticed something that made me stop. It was a view of the plane looming outside on the tarmac, bridged to Gate 43.
There were no hurricanes visible in the West Coast of Mexico as we plowed at 40 thousand feet across the country towards our destination San Jose del Cabo on the Southern tip of Baja California peninsula, and then back heading to Toronto.
But it was apparent the energy accumulated in atmosphere wanted to be released somehow, so once in a while we needed a bit of maneuvering around ‘air mass thunderstorms’, - the bug puffy clouds scattered ‘here and there’ across large swathes of land surface.
