Gustaf III Airport, also known as Rémy de Haenen Airport, serves the island of Saint Barthélemy in the northeastern Caribbean.
It's also one of the most challenging airports in the world, with a short runway that has a large hill located right off the runway's western end, meaning planes have to dive for the runway just a few hundred feet in the air.
It's a thrilling experience just to be there, let alone watch on video, so I hope you enjoy this plane spotting compilation from one of the coolest airports on the planet!

![Red Deer Airports Ambitious $15,000,000 Expansion
Red Deer Regional Airport serves the city of Red Deer, Alberta, located right in the middle of the busy Calgary to Edmonton corridor.
Right now, it serves as mainly a general aviation airport, with plenty of flight training traffic, as well as some larger movements from tenants Buffalo Airways and Air Spray.
However, that could soon change a bit, with the announcement a few months back that a $15,000,000 expansion plan would be going ahead! Lets see what this involves!

![Why These Canadian Airlines Planes Still Exist
DONATE TO SAVE AN F28: ➡️ https://gofund.me/d0af17a3 ⬅️
In the middle of the Canadian Prairies at Saskatoon John G. Diefenbaker Airport are a dozen or so Fokker F-28s, in the livery of Canadian Regional Airlines.
But why exactly are these old planes sitting in Saskatoon, in the livery of an airline that hasnt existed for almost 20 years?

![RARE VISITOR! Royal Canadian Air Force CC-138 Twin Otter at Calgary Springbank Airport [4K]
A couple weeks ago, this Royal Canadian Air Force CC-138 Twin Otter paid a visit to Calgary. This visitor from 440 Squadron spent a few days at Calgary’s Springbank Airport, apparently giving some rides to Air Cadets.
The RCAF only has 4 of these planes and they’re based out of Yellowknife for transport and search and rescue operations up north, so theyre not a common sight here at all. That, plus Springbank backgrounds, meant I had to go film a few of those flights for myself. Enjoy the video!

![Calgary Might Be Getting a NEW AIRPORT?
Back in mid-September, De Havilland Canada announced that they’ll be building a brand new aircraft manufacturing facility just 30 minutes east of Calgary.
Since then, theyve released an official Area Concept Plan with some more technical details, so lets take a look and see what this could mean for aviation in Alberta!
