The Boeing 747 is without doubt, an icon of civil aviation, revolutionizing air travel all over the globe as the very first widebody airliner to enter service.
The 747-400 variant is a more advanced version that first flew in 1988, and served as the backbone of many airlines' long haul fleets in the decades that followed.
However, I've never actually flown on one before, and with Lufthansa bringing back 8 of theirs back into service, it was about time I flew on the iconic 747-400!
With many thanks to Mr. @JonathanWinton123 for the external shot of the landing!

![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!

![FIRST VISIT! Canada Jetlines Airbus A320 at Calgary Airport [4K]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/q0Zuvrx7Po4/mqdefault.jpg "FIRST VISIT! Canada Jetlines Airbus A320 at Calgary Airport [4K]
Last Friday, new Canadian airline Canada Jetlines visited Calgary for the first time ever, operating a familiarization flight with travel agents on board. This A320 is their very first airplane and flew in from Toronto, overnighted, and then left the following day.
Its always great to see new airlines enter the market here in Canada, and Jetlines is a welcome addition to the mix after hearing about them for so many years. Very cool to finally see them in Calgary, and enjoy the video!
