On June 28th, this Turkish Airlines 777-300ER diverted to Calgary while en route from Istanbul to San Francisco.
Although Turkish does serve three Canadian destinations, those being Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal, they are not an airline you'd ever expect to see in Calgary. This might be one of the first times they've been here.
Unfortunately the diversion was due to a medical emergency on board, so I do hope everybody's alright. Hope you enjoy this rare visitor.

![The NEW GULFSTREAM G700! Flight Test Aircraft Landing at Calgary Airport [4K]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/m5DFbkh8XRM/mqdefault.jpg "The NEW GULFSTREAM G700! Flight Test Aircraft Landing at Calgary Airport [4K]
Yesterday, this Gulfstream G700 flight test aircraft from Gulfstream Aerospace flew into Calgary.
The G700 is Gulfstreams largest private jet to date, and is a stretched version of the successful G650. The G700 is still awaiting certification, and this particular one was in Iqaluit for some cold weather testing.
Strangely, it left Iqaluit and flew over to Fairbanks, but didnt actually descend, and diverted to Calgary instead.
It ended up staying the night here and then left just before sunrise. No idea why it came to Calgary of all places, but Im very glad to have seen this fantastic looking jet! Enjoy the video!

![Plane Spotting in NORTHERN CANADA! Kuujjuaq Airport, Quebec [4K]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/nlsuunUgG_E/mqdefault.jpg "Plane Spotting in NORTHERN CANADA! Kuujjuaq Airport, Quebec [4K]
Back in April, @MarkBrandonAviation and I spent a couple nights in Kuujjuaq - the largest town in Quebecs north, a region called Nunavik. This region above the 55th parallel is predominantly Inuit, and is home to 14 communities with no road connections.
Of those towns, Kuujjuaq Airport is the only one with a paved runway, and so its the busiest one in the region by far. Air Inuit serves the local communities with some links to Quebec City and Montreal, and Canadian North also provides direct links to Iqaluit and Montreal.
Theres no shortage of interesting traffic for any aviation enthusiast, so if youd like to see some plane spotting thats off the beaten path a bit, look no further than here!

![NEW ZEALAND AIR FORCE IN CANADA! RNZAF Boeing 757-200 at Calgary Airport [4K]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/pd87HWhhf-o/mqdefault.jpg "NEW ZEALAND AIR FORCE IN CANADA! RNZAF Boeing 757-200 at Calgary Airport [4K]
At the end of August, this Royal New Zealand Air Force 757 paid a brief visit to Calgary, stopping for fuel and crew rest en route from New Zealand to the UK.
According to their social media, it was apparently flying to the UK with New Zealand Army personnel to train members of the Ukrainian infantry.
As youd expect, that’s quite the long journey, and the plane stopped in Apia (the capital of Samoa), then in Honolulu, Calgary, and Halifax before making it to RAF Brize Norton.
It’s not every day we see a visitor from the South Pacific, let alone a military 757 in general, so please enjoy!
