People were out in force to watch our new baby. The controller said it well - "Welcome Home." Bonus feature: one of the old Russian jets took off just before the C-17 came in (comments for what it was, anyone?) It was a nice moment- out with the old and in with the NEW!

FYI, the jet came from the Abbotsford Air Show, and immediately prior, the factory in Long Beach, CA. They even had it stuffed with The Brass around the full load of spare parts!

The flight number was CANFORCE 3600, tail number 177701.

Blessings everybody!

  • Awesome shots of the back of CFB Trentons' airstrip! Brings back good memories of the time spent there and these amazing planes. I remember being in Gr. 10,hearing this loud noise and looking outside to see the sunlight gone. You could look up and see this huge Russian jet floating over the school as it gets ready to land. Something I'll always remember.

  • Thanks for the nice comment! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Youtube is telling me the video is popular and I can start showing ads on it now... but I just don't know. Seems strange to me.

  • Sorry I was really slow approving comments - I wasn't getting the notification emails!

  • Good old Whites Road for spotting. Best spot there , well the other end was good too but the MPs kicked ya out if you parked. I remember sitting in the Zellers parking lot and watching the Antonov take off once.
