Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Holiday in BC and AB, Canada part 3

Post by f4phantom »

A 1,5 hour drive from Abbotsford away is the Boeing factory in the USA. Since 2023 the factory tours started again and always wanted to go there. When i looked on the website it stated that tickets are currently unavailable (likely due to the boeing employees on strike).
So instead of heading south we went further west again in the direction of Langley, here the Canadian Museum of Flight can be found, we arrived here 15-9-24

Image

The museum is located at Langley Airport itself, so a walkaround here was done, lots of dumped frames

Image

Image

And again further heading west, this time to Vancouver International Airport, trying to catch some Convairs from KF Aerospace.

Not 1

Image

But 3 Convairs (C-GKFG,C-FKFZ,C-GKFS)

Image

From Vancouver we took the boat to Nanaimo, next day heading south, when we arrived we noticed the skycrane at Nanaimo airport, never seen this type of heli before in real

Image

Again further south this nice overvieuw of Victoria Harbour Airport

Image

Last stop the 16th the BC Aviation Museum at Victoria International Airport with the Martin Mars just arrived there

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Kamov 32 on loan to the museum from VIH Helicopters, not allowed to fly anymore

Image

Image

Part 4 soon

I was at Langley in 2012. Not the most easiest museum to get clean shots.
Was the Hampden still there?
Groeten, Regards,
