Four Engines, One Beautiful View……
🇵🇭✈️ to an era when four-engined airliners still crossed the Pacific on a daily basis.

Captured at Vancouver International Airport, Philippine Airlines Airbus A340-300 RP-C3432 sits beneath the stunning backdrop of British Columbia’s Coast Mountains. Delivered new to PAL in 1997, this aircraft was part of the airline’s long-haul fleet for many years, connecting the Philippines with destinations across North America, Australia, and the Middle East.

Today, the Airbus A340 has largely disappeared from passenger service, making moments like this a reminder of a different chapter in aviation history.

Head-On with a 777……
A rare sight in Winnipeg as Air Canada’s Boeing 777-300ER taxies for departure as Flight AC6. From this head-on perspective, the sheer size of the Triple Seven is impossible to miss—its massive GE90 engines and 212-foot wingspan dominating the scene before the journey east. On a beautiful prairie afternoon, Canada’s flagship widebody prepares to continue its journey to Montréal. ✈️

Hercules Climbing Out……
An RCAF CC-130 Hercules climbs away from Winnipeg, its four turboprops digging into the prairie air as it begins another mission. The iconic silhouette, tactical grey paint, and swirling prop vortices make the Hercules one of the most recognizable military aircraft in the world.

Whether moving cargo, supporting operations, delivering humanitarian aid, or conducting training flights, the Hercules continues to prove why it’s the backbone of Canadian air mobility.

First Touchdown from the Museum……
The unmistakable puff of tire smoke as this Porter Airlines Embraer E195-E2 kisses Runway 31 at Winnipeg Richardson International Airport. Capturing that exact moment of touchdown never gets old, and this one is extra special—it’s my first photo taken from the viewing area at the . A new perspective, a perfect landing, and a little bit of runway drama all in one frame. ✈️💨

Making a StateMint Exit……
JetBlue Airbus A321 N964JT, aptly named “Make a StateMint,” climbs out of under the clear Southern California sky. With its distinctive blue tail and sleek profile catching the sunlight, it’s a classic Los Angeles departure scene.

LAX is one of the best places in the world to watch airliners come and go, and catching this JetBlue A321 powering skyward was a welcome addition to the day

Full Circle on Runway 36…….
There are flights, and then there are milestone flights.

A Flair Boeing 737 MAX 8 rolls out on Runway 36 in Winnipeg on a calm morning arrival, but this landing carried a little extra meaning. At the controls was , returning home to Winnipeg after making the jump from turboprop flying to the flight deck of a jet.

It’s always special to watch someone progress through the ranks of aviation, and even more so when that journey brings them back to where it all began. From flying turboprops to bringing a 737 MAX 8 home to YWG, this rollout marks another chapter in an impressive career.

Congratulations, Arthur — Winnipeg is proud to welcome you back. ✈️

Three Missions, One Apron…….
Three aircraft. Three missions. One ramp.

An RCAF CF-188 Hornet stands guard while a Perimeter Aviation Dash 8 and a police Black Hawk prepare for their own duties. From national defence to regional connectivity and public safety, this lineup showcases the many roles aviation plays across Canada every single day.

The skies may be grey over , but there’s no shortage of horsepower on this apron.
