Pics From Nf Trip

Leaving the smog....here's Toronto Island Airport



Seen at HFX, a nice ( Gary ) Porter Airlines Q



I also saw a nice Islander and a Jet Ranger there, but was to slow with the camera. I know, I know....to slow to catch an Islander ?

Landing at St. John's reveals a pair of SOA Hercs

Two more Hercs across the ramp



Some 727s, Transalls, a nice 215



My tail is bigger than your tail.....

[B777LR]

A Transall! Too bad it wasnt parked next to a C-130  

[Captain Canada]

Gotta love Twotters !





And Jet Rangers ! This one looks like she's sporting a refueling probe  

[Captain Canada]

From the 'Hercs in the Distance' series



A J Herc



A nice SOA bird

An S-92 was nice enoguh to do a flypast for me out at Conception Bay South



And then come back....



Here's the rig out in CBS after she was towed back in

This super-sexy bird was the only thing of note at YYZ

cool piccies. the rig looks huge without  the legs and pontoons being 90 feet in the water and rogue waves knocking you out of bed.

Wow, nice selection.  What's with all the foreign Hercs & transalls in Canuckistan?

Dig the USCG C-130, and that smart S-92.

[Captain Canada]

Thanks Nevster and Kurly. The Transalls always seem to be there. The French must have some planes at Goose Bay ? The Belgians always seem to be here as well. The Yanks use the base as a stopover whilst heading overseas, so there's usually a few of them around.

Leaving the smog....here's Toronto Island Airport

For the non-Canadians, this is coming from a guy who lives in Sarnia, where your daily ration of air is served in slices.  

Nice shots Toad, love that DC-8!    

[Captain Canada]

Are you trying to say that my smog is smoggier than your smog ?



Ya, the -8 is one sweet looking bird. A proper looking aeroplane, if you ask me ! I'd love to see one take off and land. Last time I was there, there was a DHL DC, but I didn't have my camera.....

That Transall is Luftwaffe - don't they have a permanent detachtment of Tonkas @ Goose Bay now?  Not to mention all their flying training in New Mexico.

That RAF herk is a spec ops one based on the colour scheme
