Lovely day for it. I love flying in and out of Victoria. The views are awesome, and the airport is big enough while still having the feel of a smaller one.
Ah yessss... CYYJ to CYVR at 7,000'. A great 'transoceanic' leg for a DC-9 back-in-the-day... Those were fun, quick flights. Nice shots - thanks for sharing.
I remember a flight from YVR to YYJ back in the 70’s on a PWA 737. Vertical takeoff up to 20,000 over the top and roller coaster down to sea level! NEVER forget it!💕 PWA…Pacific Western PWA…Piggly Wiggly PWA…PRAY While Aloft!😂 Coolest PWA flight I saw was from Calgary to Castlegar. They came through the valley From Nelson, banked a HARD left and planted it on the numbers at the same time as the wings levelled! Awesome piloting!
Been a long time since I have been to Victoria! Nice to see some spotting from there. Back in the '70's, I remember the terminal being referred to as "small enough to swing a cat and hit all four walls"!! I'm assuming it is a little bigger now! Flew in on a Convair one time. I think it was my only flight on a prop plane!
Loved the CV-580 at the beginning. I used to fly them as a passenger on Allegheny and the original Frontier Airlines. Even flew one once from Colorado Springs to Denver (Stapleton) on Aspen Airways in the 80's. I loved those old planes. On a Frontier flight one time, the pilot hit the brakes so hard when we landed that someone's briefcase went sliding from the back of the plane to the front.
My son was doing some classes as part of his aviation in highschool at the Flying Club, he is now just doing his work experience with De Havilland/Viking Air.
I was based out of YYJ as a flight attendant, in 1988, when we were Air BC. Dash 7’s then , soon to follow with the Dash 8-100. Good days as I remember . Onward and upwards, eh!!

It has been announced the building of a new control tower will commence soon. The tower currently in operation was built back in 1958. Expected to be completed in 2026 to handle the increased volume of air traffic.
Back in the day, YYJ used to be almost all Dash 8s with a couple of WestJets here and there. Very cool to see the change over the years. Great video!
Westjet has dash8…
@@rare2917 also 737 though
Lovely day for it.

Am I the only that remembers the WardAir 747 that used to arrive in the winter months to take our parents to Hawaii?
It would be cool if you flew with Air Liaison, a Quebec airline. Love your videos
keren parah nih

Why are the CRJ9s classified as Mitsubishi for the manufacturer instead of Bombardier? Did they sell the model to Mitsubishi?

Hey Alex can you try to fly Harbor air for your next video
Let's hope Alex features my comment on his next video
In the new year!
Im really gonna miss the CV-580s in Penticton during the summer. Now it will be Q-400ATs
No way you can slip in late with your shoes in your hands with that Convair!
Can you go to YLW to plane spot one of these days?
It's on my list! Some great views to be had there.
No Cessnas? 🤔
