A few weeks ago, Air Tindi, the largest civilian operator of Dash 7s in the world, reached out to see if I’d be willing to join them on a special charter flight from Yellowknife to Toronto Downsview Airport.
The reason for that is, De Havilland Canada was putting on a special event at Downsview, which included bringing all of their still-flying types back to where they were first built.
Let's take a ride on a rare Dash 7 and explore the impact that this single airport has had on the Canadian aerospace industry!

![BOEING 747SP STILL FLYING IN 2022! Montreal Mirabel Airport Plane Spotting [4K]
Montreal Mirabel International Airport, located north of Montreal, was originally built to replace Dorval Airport as the main airport of Montreal.
Passenger service to Mirabel ultimately didnt stick around for a variety of reasons, but the airport now serves as a busy cargo hub for Montreal, as well as a base for Nolinor Aviation, Pratt & Whitney Canada, and Airbus.
Theres a surprising amount of interesting aircraft to see here, as I found out during this visit for the Pratt & Whitney Canada 747SP back in May!

![Air Canada Partners With... Emirates?
On July 12th, Air Canada announced that they were forming a strategic partnership with Emirates, the flag carrier of the United Arab Emirates.
As part of this agreement, the two carriers “intend to establish a codeshare relationship” later this year, which would allow Air Canada passengers to book connecting flights with Emirates on a single ticket, and vice versa.
This is quite an interesting move for a couple of reasons - lets take a look at it!

![SASKATOON PLANE SPOTTING! John G. Diefenbaker International Airport (YXE) [4K]
Saskatoon John G. Diefenbaker International Airport is the busiest airport in the province of Saskatchewan, serving nearly 1.5 million passengers in 2019.
Its home to local carrier Rise Air, which was formed just a few years ago by the merger of Transwest Air and West Wind Aviation. It also has a solid amount of traffic from Canadas major carriers, including Air Canada, Flair, and WestJet.
I spent a night here in early May 2022, and managed to capture some of Saskatoons regular action!
