My experience is that they both smell the same.

You know, looking at the latest pics of the interior of the new hammerhead, I feel that not enough glass was used... I hate to say it, but YYC's new IFP will have an entire, monumental wall of glass looking out toward the apron/downtown/rockies that will make this, by comparison, look dark and cramped... <sigh> I hope I feel differently when I first set foot in the new wing.

I sure hope you're wrong. Hope.

I wonder if they have moved the location to the other end - near the US departures...

That is exactly how I felt looking at them...I think they made a hugh mistake. That should be curtain wall - vast expanses of it. As it is it looks like a cheapo design and cheapo finishes. Maybe thats why they saved $250M.

CMD UW · #**5866** Posted **Jun 9, 2011, 1:50 AM**

^This was the design from the get-go and there will be plenty of natural light. Notice there are very few lights installed in any of those pictures. The central hall will feature a glass wall at the base of the new control tower.

MalcolmTucker · #**5867** Posted **Jun 9, 2011, 2:56 AM**

Yeah, hard to tell - on a sunny day it may look pretty different. Last thing would need is a giant curtain wall then needing blinds every which way to make it so sun glasses aren't required indoors (or I guess a permenant window tint)

Wow the Russians really penetrated our northern border this time. The CF18's must have been escorting the prime minister to the Canucks-Bruins game.

tuffyy · #**5869** Posted **Jun 9, 2011, 2:12 PM**

Anyone interested in the Tupolev 154's movements its scheduled to depart at 1000 and will return at 1400 after flying a ''mission'' over Canada's north.Should depart right over the city and the critter is loud and smokey!

Bigtime · #**5870** Posted **Jun 9, 2011, 7:20 PM**

What are the chances that the TU-154 would have flown south and possibly over YYC? I ask because about 20 minutes ago I saw a t-tail rear engine aircraft pass from SW to NE heading approximately towards the YYC VOR at maybe 10,000' or so. Appeared to be all white.

Coldrsx · #**5871** Posted **Jun 9, 2011, 7:45 PM**

^that sounds like the private jet, quite large, that i saw take off from the muni here at lunch time. All white, T, and headed south.

Bigtime · #**5872** Posted **Jun 9, 2011, 7:47 PM**

Probably was a bizjet Cold, if it was the Tupolev it probably would have been louder and smokier!

CanadianCentaur · #**5873** Posted **Jun 9, 2011, 8:20 PM**

Plus, the Muni's runways are very likely too short for a Tu-154!

tuffyy · #**5874** Posted **Jun 9, 2011, 8:47 PM**

Yep a Global express departed YXD earlier could have been it...

Xelebes · #**5875** Posted **Jun 9, 2011, 9:33 PM**

I think I saw the Marvin today. I saw a large, tubby four-prop craft flying over the West End around noon.

Edit - just flew over again. Might be a C-130. Flying low though.

I saw the same bird not too long ago. Flying way low.

Xelebes · #**5877** Posted **Jun 9, 2011, 10:00 PM**

It is a quiet bird though.

tuffyy · #**5878** Posted **Jun 10, 2011, 6:02 AM**

Its one of the new C-130J's recently delivered to the Canadian armed forces.Its been flying out of YEG over the last 2 days.And yes much quieter than the older C-130's...
