RE: Air Canada’s 65th Anniversary

Wow, I’m Canadian and I hadn’t even seen that yet, thanks.

I think that they are also celebrating 65 years because they are in some serious financial trouble, and facing a lot of competition to their monopoly now on the domestic front. I think it’s basically a marketing campaign to remind Canadians of the history of the airline and perhaps to inspire travel and loyalty.

RE: Tribute.

Really like this last shot, especially with the traffic in the background.

RE: EasyJet could award 120-plane order by end of this month

You can operate both aircraft, but obviously makes sense to move forward with one product.

I think another sweet that Airbus may be dangling is the cancelled A318 orders. I keep reading of problems with the program. Perhaps for routes that don’t require the capacity of the 319/320/321 they will give them a big discount to invest in the 318. Didn’t BA reduce the size of its order?

Also, the fact the EasyJet, GO, and Deusche BA may potentially be one, an all European fleet for an airline that seems to be trying to establish itself as European rather than British would seem like an attractive marketing ploy. Maybe I’m stretching, I’m sick today 🙁

RE: ID time

I was trying to establish by the groud equipment what continent it was, but I couldn’t tell. Looks a bit more European. I can’t see where the drivers are sitting though to see if it is the UK.

I may be wrong, but the aircraft in the far left of the photo (sorry don’t know the model) looks like a vintage Air Canada. Air Canada adopted the maple leaf very early. Like I said though, I may be wrong and reading more into the image than what is there.

Great photos!

RE: Pics on Sunday.

Love the Australian! Hadn’t seen it yet.

I really like looking at aircraft with lights illuminated on overcast days. It’s quite striking.

Later,

RE: viewing planes

I can also add the Seattle is very good, although the there is not very many exotic types to view.

Even though we are not the United States, Toronto has excellent viewing areas. You can park on the top of terminal one and see the entire airfield. However, they will be destroying this terminal (and terminal two) for a one massive terminal and this will compliment terminal three.
