Jeez they look so casual after missing the landing and don't even seem to be paying attention to the fact that they are just inches above the tree line...

Air Canada buys two more 777-300ER's from Boeing, this will bring their 773 fleet to 19 in total:

An accident occurred last night, Air Canada Express flight from YYC to Grand Prairie:

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmont...port-1.2827068

According to the report the plane blew a tire on departure from YYC and due to crosswind limitations at Calgary they diverted to Edmonton to land.

It will be interesting to hear more about this and why the right main gear collapsed. A single blown tire in and of itself shouldn't lead to something like this happening. Unless both tires on the right gear blew.

To decipher that for anyone wondering, the key figures are in the top left corner of the screen there: GS = groundspeed = 630 nautical miles per hour meaning a car on the ground would have to be driving 1,166 kph to keep up with this airplane. His actual speed through the air = true airspeed = a mere 457 nautical miles per hour (knots), but he has a 175 knot push from the wind almost right on his tail... the wind is coming from a compass heading of 259°.

Always cool seeing these huge speeds on radar... pilots always want to go where they can get the biggest push!

The Q400 that crash landed in Edmonton has a prop blade lodged in the fuselage.

That may or may not confirm what I saw with my own eyes at the airport yesterday.
