Wow, I'm 100 Ave and 108 St and it shook my windows a little there. I'm glad that I was able to watch the whole thing from here. Truly marks the end of an era.
The 732's aren't that bad when you consider even louder Fokker-28's and back in the day Lear 24/25's were regular aircraft at the airport and packed a lot more noise...
Yup, that was loud. For a one-off thing it's sort of neat, but to have that happening all the time is just stupid.
I can't believe Edmontonians put up with it for so long, convenient or not.
I lived in Dovercourt for my early life and you got used to it. In St Albert it was always louder as they flew over. Now I get the flights to YK flying over . Still noisey but they are much higher.

I think the word I'm looking for is vindictive. There is no reason this plane couldn't have remained where it was over than some particularly harsh victor's justice.

Time Air used F28s for a time I believe. Truthfully though I do not miss the landings at CCA. the take offs were fun. My first flight into the arctic was from CCA. and Old NWT Electra.
