Between this thread, a buddy whose into it and my retired father getting way into airplanes I made a couple trips up to the Calgary airport recently to check things out.
Saw a couple interesting ones this afternoon but neither I'm sure are that great to people in this thread but I enjoyed it. I missed a plane by about two minutes, it was flying out to the west just as I arrived. It was this plane... and despite not knowing it existed five minutes ago I was upset I had just missed it. This was.. around 5:30? A guy who had pulled up beside me was beside his self with joy.
These are the ones I got pictures of.

I really really like the "livery" on that Nolinor one, the tail is beautiful.
Fun hobby, think I'll get more into it. A great way to keep the camera active in the winter months when it doesn't come out as much.
