As we take 23R and do a rolling check, I see the hold behind us and its too bad, I might have liked to get a shot of this A-340 as it departed.........
.......as we roll and gather speed, we pass numerous taxiway and runway markers......
.......rotating, we see a humidity compression stream over the lead edge from the left engine nacelle.....
......in a flash we are 300 ft in the air and the hazy day to the south is very apparent.......
.....gaining height, we can see the hulk of a "fire exercise" practice fuselage........
........below us, is Hwy 410 and one of its many spaghetti overpasses.......
........heading north-west, we pass over the farmlands around the Orangeville area........home for me at the time......
Looking over the lead edge again, open skies are ahead as we still continue to climb into the blue.......
The low level fluffies are getting smaller now and the horizon is getting further away........
Up in the bright sunlight, its nice to see a pleasant day to be going to the waters edge for those below us......
Passing over the Rockies, it appears that the weather for them, isn't quite as nice as what we have up here in the open........
Even higher above us, the jet-stream shows itself with the long stringy clouds........
After feeling the engines throttle down, and the nose drop, the next tell-tale of getting close to our destination is the pop-up of the spoilers to begin the braking during decent.........
Shooting a last view of the tops, I know its not going to be a clear day as we land at YVR........
On final and about 2-3 miles out, I take one last shot before changing the camera to shoot a vid of the landing.......nope, its not all that nice a day here.....
Next, the flight to Vancouver Island......
LOL
