I'd love to catch the arrival, we just need an eta into YYC now.

The Nav Canada RJ is doing its testing around YYC right now:

Not sure when this happened, but I just saw it posted today on another site.

Air China plane collides with unknown object at 8,000 metres (probably Superman)

Haven't heard otherwise yet. I set up a Flightaware alert for any DH8D filing a flight plan from Downsview to YYC, so I hope to get a heads up when they file and depart on an updated ETA.

Hearing rumours the delivery flight may go tomorrow now, no bird in the air yet.

New shot of A350. I don't like the nose, it is too short.

It may be an unflattering angle for the nose, I'd like to see it in profile before judging.

To me the A330-200 is the best looking Airbus. This airplane doesn't look as good as the 330.

A little morning update on our WestJet Encore Q400, the eta is still for 1815 today and the flight number is apparently 8970.

This any better? It just drops so suddenly. It is quite short really.

That will definitely take some getting used to, I wonder how it will be for noise in the cockpit?
