Montreal-YUL 11/11-11/12 Pic Review + A380

[Iberia A340-600]

After seeing the A380 at BDL a couple of weeks ago in unfortunate weather I decided that it would be fun to drive up to YUL and try and catch it. Having spotted in YUL for two days in early September I became very familiar with the airport and loved it.

This time around I tried spotting runway 24L and was quite pleased with the rotation shots you can get from there. I also finally got the Air Canada 777-300ER and some 737-200 action!

Here are the pics:

Great shots! There are some good catches in there besides the A380...you don't see many old-school 737s anymore. And SunWing is growing on me :)

Thumbs up - high quality pics! :borat:
