Looks like there are a good number of YVR people here, I too am YVR based, and get out to YVR when I can and usually I'll be at the airport watching certain planes come and go for research purposes for projects I work on at PMDG.

 

YVR was recently named to the top 5 liveable airports, Changi once again is in the number 1 spot according to a travel website "Sleeping in Airports".

 

Maybe I'll bump into you guys one day at YVR...

 

Cheers,

 

Well, I just sent out an invite to some local YVR members. I was only able to send out to 6 people (since theres a limit). Just thought it would be neat to get a meet-up going. If your interested, I'll try to forward you the message. 

 

Hope to see you around!

I love flying into and out of YVR (although the airport itself sucks....sorry but its true....baggage and security is waaaayy too slow).  

 

I have had some unbelievable views on the climb out taking of from 26L and turning north and west to get over to Calgary/Edmonton/Toronto.  Also love the rare approach from the East around the bay to land on the 08's.

Nice shots!

 

I wonder which scenery that is....and does it have any big impact on performance? :P

Cheers,

I'd heard you were YVR based - always curious about that. I take it you've used the Avis Lot for up-close opportunities?

 

Hope to see you out there some time,
