You can’t see them too often at St. John’s, Newfoundland. Oh, well, in fact, these, and other of their kind fly over the Newfoundland by dozens per any given day - across Atlantic, in both directions, but these big ones never stop at YYT (’Torbey’) routinely. Read the rest of this entry »
There’s one particular way to spot planes in Bahamas. Go ‘below sea level’.
Perhaps, guys in the ‘Stuart Cove’s of Nassau always use this joke on us, ‘dummy snorkels’, whenever they brief before a tour to this place: “A pilot is still there, by the way.. say ‘Hello’ to him, ask, if he needs anything”.
So, it was the very first time when we tried an underwater camera. Really got interested to get an image of that pilot 
(to be continued… got a call from crew sched.. )
Yes, we made it down South to the Caribbeans! (in fact, we’ve got back home already
And it seems the water’s color on the map is about to be all right
Hello, Bahama Mama!
We are going on vacation - to check it out what’s going on in ‘Bermuda Triangle’, at its Western point
Although it is a picture of Freeport, we are going to Nassau. I couldn’t find the Nassau’s picture, anyway, it was taken in the middle of the night, enroute from Montreal to Dominican (right through the Bermuda Triangle!) . Hopefully, I’ll have a break from a constant hanging out in the Internet.
But I’ll be back, in a while
Cheers,
Clash
You never know where this cute, but relatively small and slow going plane would eventually get over at the end of its flying day..
This photo-session took place on an excellent evening of November 5. Shortly after we checked in to the Radisson hotel my friend came to visit, and I suggested we would go and see ‘an interesting place’.
It seemed he liked an idea, and - as it turned, - the place too, so, we spent almost an hour around there, at the Frazer River float plane base well known as ‘Flying Beaver’.
It was exactly the time when all the aircraft, the float planes of a few operators such as ‘Harbour Air‘, ‘SEAir, and some others, were coming back home so that to be in before dark would fall.
Yesterday we stayed overnight in Vancouver, and it was a chance to do another session of ‘fair spotting’ (See one recent report of this kind, from YYZ).
There’s a place on the South part of YVR known to many people as ‘Flying Beaver’. Or, some people call it ‘Flying Beavers’ - that’s for a reason - there’s a fair number of DHC-2 ‘Beaver’ aircraft flying in and out of the place.

On the road again. It is one of the relatively rare five-day pairings, and not too many folks in our system like them. I’m not an exclusion. But it’s OK, work is work, and still - as I do my bid for the next month I never advise system I would prefer avoiding these pairings.
And a first stop is at Saskatoon again.

We sit in Toronto today. Sheraton (that’s where we overnight) is right at the airport. In some senses it is a convenient location, - especially when you checking out and go to work, or you are coming from somewhere, and checking in. All you need to get in or out is just to cross the road through the ’skywalk’.

It was the first time I have ever endeavored to voyage down to Saskatoon city centre. Or, ‘Toontown downtown’, for the same purpose. A few times I saw the city from above, when I flew over either at high altitude going somewhere else across the country, or doing approach to ‘Toonport’
exactly like on this picture posted on Flickr in February this year. Read the rest of this entry »
