Toronto Pearson Plane Spotting – September 20, 2014

For many more great images of aircraft, visit It’s About Airplanes!

A sunny but windy day with high gusts – no better conditions for going out to the airport to check out some airplanes. The wind was pretty much head-on so there wasn’t any drastic crosswind landings but some of the planes were bouncing around pretty good on approach.

I also had the bad luck of being at the start of the runway that was mostly being used for takeoffs. However, I was able to capture the following nine airliners, all belonging to either Air Canada or Air Transat. For the first time, I captured images of a jet that I’d captured before. C-GTSZ is an Airbus A330 that belongs to Air Transat. The previous images were taken in August, 2011 and can be seen here: Air Transat Airbus A330.

All the nine airliners shown below can be found at our Airliner Directory with more images. Just click the link on that top menu bar above this article to get to the directory.

Air Canada Boeing 767-300

The above is a Boeing 767-300, belonging to Air Canada with the registration number C-FTJP. This is the same airplane as the one pictured directly below but the one below has a somewhat new paint job and is in the Air Canada Rouge group. However, if you look at the images in our Airliner Directory collection, you’ll see there’s an issue with the paint on the Rouge plane and a swath is peeling away from the nose. See the other images here: Air Canada Boeing 767.

You simply can’t go away from the airport without seeing one, if not several, Embraer ERJ-190’s. C-FHJJ above belongs to Air Canada and it identifiable, I find, by the wide spacing between passenger windows.

This plane above is an Airbus A330-300 belonging to Air Canada. The one below is an Airbus A330-200 belonging to Air Transat. Can you see the difference?

c-gtsz air transat airbus a330-200

The above mentioned Air Transat Airbus A330-200 with the new paint job. Right now, this guy is shuttling people back and forth between Toronto and Montreal and Southern Europe. I believe this one was coming in from Barcelona then heading back to Venice.

The only Boeing 777-300ER captured on this day belonged to Air Canada with the registration number C-FITW.

c-gfat air transat airbus a310

This Airbus A310 belongs to Air Transat and is currently moving back and forth between Canada and the United Kingdom. I’ve been on a few of these for relatively short flights to the Caribbean. I gotta think that travelling across the Atlantic Ocean in one would be a cramping experience.

The ever popular Dash 8 Q400 by Bombardier. Air Canada Express has 25 on the fleet and I’m pretty sure all 25 fly over my house in the span of a 24 hour day.

c-gjwo air canada airbus a321

Speaking of jetliners in need of a new paint job! You don’t even need to zoom in on the section just above the cockpit windshield to see a large area of paint has peeled away on this Airbus A321 belonging to Air Canada. The registration number on this airliner is C-GJWO. You have to wonder if it will soon have a different design.
