Porter has made quite a name for themselves since launching in 2006, with their unique Dash 8 operation from Toronto’s Billy Bishop Airport, and their elevated level of onboard service.
Up until a few months ago though, they’d been exclusively an Eastern Canadian sight. With their new Embraer E2s though, they've finally expanded to Western Canada, and I gave them a try on a longer itinerary from Calgary to Toronto to Halifax!

An amazing-sounding takeoff on board this Finnair Airbus A350-900 operating for Eurowings Discover, departing Calgary, Canada, for Frankfurt, Germany!
Unfortunately it was a smoky day in Calgary due to wildfires in British Columbia and south of the border, but that doesnt diminish just how nice those Rolls Royce Trent XWBs sound.
Enjoy this extended cut of the takeoff footage from the trip report here: https://youtu.be/DujdvcHBg8E

![HUGE ANTONOV 124 VISITS CALGARY! Antonov Airlines An-124-100 [4K]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/yG1k5svKUms/mqdefault.jpg "HUGE ANTONOV 124 VISITS CALGARY! Antonov Airlines An-124-100 [4K]
On June 26th, this Antonov 124 from Antonov Airlines flew into Calgary from Anchorage, Alaska, and left the following day for Goose Bay.
I’m not 100% sure what was on board, and they didn’t seem to load or offload anything. Still though, it was so nice to see one of these incredible Ukrainian planes in action again, especially one from Antonov themselves.
Слава Україні!

![Alberta Government WATER BOMBERS! Canadair CL-215Ts at Red Deer Regional Airport [4K]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/z1CkZxQlUhU/mqdefault.jpg "Alberta Government WATER BOMBERS! Canadair CL-215Ts at Red Deer Regional Airport [4K]
As winter wraps up, aerial firefighting contractors across Canada have been preparing for the upcoming fire season. At Red Deer Regional Airport, both Air Spray and Buffalo Airways in particular have been especially busy with training flights.
However, one new sight this season are these Government of Alberta Canadair CL-215Ts. These amphibious firefighting planes were previously operated by Conair of B.C. on contract for Alberta.
Back in February though, Air Spray was awarded that contract, and will operate these planes on behalf of the Government of Alberta for at least the next 10 years (https://www.airspray.com/news/air-spray-wins-alberta-aerial-firefighting-contract).
I’ve never actually managed to catch one of these on the move, so was very glad to see these two CL-215Ts going up for a training flight the other day. Enjoy these very unique-looking planes!
