First time there since Feb 1995. Stunning landscape. Amazing place.
All I saw in '95 was snow, my hotel, snow, MUN, snow, some Gulliver's Taxis and snow.

I am but a pleb, short of one paid J flight in my life, the rest have always been op-up or eUps (though eUps only in the last few years)

From a YYC-YVR-YYC Trip last weekend... with more shots from behind the wing.

Ought to be a nice view of the apron from the rooms on this side.

AC Winglet vs Competitor's Tail fin

YYC Downtown above the wing

YYC Downtown below the wing... could probably see my house from here.

I truly enjoyed this approach into YVR, get a nice view of downtown Vancouver and of course CXH (CYHC)

Vancouver, Stanley Park, and North Van

Golden hour departure out of YVR (with a distant view of downtown)

Always enjoy these sunset flights.

This counts as over-the-wing, right? Volga-Dnepr IL-76 is a relatively unusual find at YVR...

I've seen that aircraft a few times on my local ADS-B receiver. Not sure what it is doing at YVR, but it seems to be in the 'hood fairly regularly. Still cool to see in person I am sure.
