In Toronto, at YYZ, about 1/2 mile north of the pax terminals on Airport Road, is the old McDonald Douglas, now Boeing--soon to be closed, factory employee parking lot. (It was in these hangers that they built the "Avro Arrow", first Canadian jet fighter before it was scrapped)> From the parking lot (open to the public), you get a good view of runway 5-23 (E-W), and most of 15-33 (N-S). Usually packed on weekends with planewatchers, but a good place to spend a few minutes with a cup of coffee to get a very close-up look at landings and take-offs, especially in the afternoon, when the international carriers arrive. bj-21
