Wasn't sure if these were worth sharing... but maybe some people think they're "interesting"

Those are great!

Such a power move bringing 4x aircraft to a bilateral meeting. Wonder if it helped them get a few more Canadian slots

Wasn't there a RAF C-17 here too?

Yes. But could have been unrelated.
Resupply to the High Commission or Embassy, Troops or training, A quick stop over, leftovers from the airshow with the Red Arrows, Bringing secret documents that can't touch the internet to Canada and British diplomats, etc.

I wonder what kind of resupply would be included in that flight? Mysterious British luxuries unobtainable in Canada?

First NHL charter of the season with the Sens traveling to Toronto in pre-season tonight. I'd imagine that the Jetz fins getting subbed on Rapidair turns will again become a rare occurrence as the NHL schedule gets underway.

Interesting gate assignment, the AC YVR Dreamliner used gate 17 rather the usual 28, so it was side by side with the AF A350 today.

I was just at Britannia Park and watched this climb out of YOW. I wonder what it was doing here?

Nice little perk announced by AF in that starting 2025 summer season they’ll be gradually rolling out free high-speed Starlink wifi across the fleet in all cabins.
