@assou3l3 I would suggest visiting the website Contrails Aviation Photography. Go to the Spotting Guides section and select YUL. There will be a map showing you the most popular spotting locations.

YUL is a good airport that is growing thought beside toronto airport its very small.

[BOEINGisDaBestYaDigg]

Those embraer 170's are sexy

[MeanGene79]

Embraers are awesome! So comfy and much nicer than CRJs.

[pricelessppp]

@BOEINGisDaBestYaDigg is that a long range plane i might get one for fsx

[fsrodolfitocarlos]

[sevie480]

6:08 The A380 is Awesome!

When was that in Montreal?

[YULspotter]

I came in October of 2007. I don't remember the exact dates.

[kafilerky]

what airline is at 6:04?

[YULspotter]

It's actually not an airline. It's an A310 from the Republique Francaise (the French government).

[texashorns76]

3:42, there's fighter jets are YUL?

[YULspotter]

There are no fighter jets actually stationned t YUL. YUL get's the odd CF-18 or Alpha Jet mostly as a refuelling stop.

[golds079]

[YULspotter]

That would be a 767-300.

[jimmyrovers]

[Boaz11]

Great Pictures.

I also saw the 727 From First Air.

[shaquo890]

DUDE!!!!! u do know most of those pics are famous right?!

[borealica]

Virgin has flights to Montreal?

[YULspotter]

No they do not. This was an ex Air Canada 767 that was being transferred to Virgin Nigeria. The re-painting of the aircraft was done locally which is why it was seen at YUL in Virgin colours.

[thrust999]

All my friends on Saturday night chill at a place called fifty fifth and watch the planes. Is this it?

[YULspotter]

Most of the pictures seen here are from the parking lot at the end of 55th avenue so this may be the same place.

[DanielR305]

what airline is it at 4.20 or is a private plane

[YULspotter]

Yes, it's a privately owned 737-200. This one is owned by the mining company Falconbridge.

[yomamasapeach]

Toronto Pearson is bigger and has more flights. Even bigger airlines than pierre Trudeau.Toronto holds about 30 000 000 a year and continues to grow.But pierre is beutiful too

[YULspotter]

Yes, there was a larger PAX load for a few of the summer flights which required a larger aircraft.

[MrCars]

since when did swiss operate the a340 to montreal

[YULspotter]

Swiss usually operates a A330-200 to Montreal. They exceptionnally sent an A340 a couple of times last year.

[MrCars]

i know they usually operate the a330. i went on it! but did they send the a340 becuse of the large pax load?

[inukjuak89]

Lots of great pix! I didn't know, however, that several airlines flew/fly to Montreal: JAL (1:20), ATA (1:37), Virgin (2:17), TACA (2:40), LTU (4:27), and Cook (5:33). Are we having a renaissance? There are also a few I don't recognize: the blue-and-white MD11 at 1:50, the blue-and-white 732 at 4:20 (it's not Air Inuit, First Air or Canadian North), and the red-white-and-blue A310 at 6:03. Can anybody help identify these?

[YULspotter]

To answer your questions (part 1):

JAL - only come in October to bring passenger to watch the fall colors

ATA - special charter, they usually come for the Grand Prix

Virgin - actually a former Air Canada bird being taken over by Virgin Nigeria. She was repainted at YUL.

TACA - this is actually Cubana, they do offer regular flight to and from YUL

[YULspotter]

Part 2:

LTU - this aircraft was diverted from YYZ due to bad weather in Toronto

Cook (Thomas CooK) - Operate regular flighs during the summer

MD11 - World Airways, special charter flight

Blue & White 732 - private aircraft operated by Falconbrige, they are a mining company in the north

Red-White-Blue Airbus - belongs to the french government, this was a refuelling stop.

[inukjuak89]

Wow....a nicely-written and detailed explanation

to all 9 queries -- all in one shot.

I never expected that. That's impressive.

Thanks for the reply, nevermind how fast you were.

How do you know so much,

particularly about things like the JAL, Virgin and LTU?

[Kingdrap]

It's awesome! 5 stars!

[larondefan911]

I GO THERE EACH WEEK END

[jmr604]

I see you got Air Creebec, I almost forgot they go to YUL.. I've got a bit of video of them in Northern Ontario.

[MidasTouch34]

6:06-6:15... That must have been so awesome to see a real A380 in person...

[FencingRick]

Great! Must have been exciting seeing that A380 there...

[hockeyrapido]
