This pathetic aircraft spent the winter, and perhaps previous winters, in the open with defunct picnic tables outside the Aviation Museum, (Rockcliffe Airport). I guess it is not significantly damaged by the weather, and it will never fly again in any case, but it still gives me the chills to see it dismembered like this....

There was a significant amount of blowing snow this morning at the Ottawa Airport. Unfortunately, the runway was too far away to get a clear shot of the rooster tail when the planes were taking off.... :( More pics here

Well, not really.... I shot this from too far away as a plane took off into the sunset. I've seen the flash before, but it only lasts a fraction of a second, and it is a real pain to capture.

Updated: Montreal's Olympic Stadium

The Olympic Stadium (French: Stade olympique) is a multi-purpose stadium in Montreal, Quebec, Canada built as the main venue for the 1976 Summer Olympics. It subsequently became the home of Montreal's professional baseball and Canadian football teams. Since the Montreal Expos relocated to Washington, D.C. in 2004, the stadium has had no main tenant, and with a history of financial and structural problems, is largely seen as a white elephant. It currently serves as a 56,040-seat multipurpose facility for special events (e.g. concerts, trade shows) during non-winter months, and continues to serve as a venue for Grey Cup games hosted by the Montreal Alouettes. La tour de Montréal, the tower incorporated into the base of the stadium, is the tallest inclined tower in the world at 175 metres, and is a member of the World Federation of Great Towers.

This is at YOW, right after some serious rain, and before it had all cleared away. The radar dome in the back is quite reminiscent of Space 1999....

Not quite as ostentatious as Air Force One, but with a significantly higher cool factor. The plane is labeled: "The Exhibition Örnsköldsvik June - September 2008"

This is a Golden Air (Trollhattan): SAAB 2000 SE-LTX. Taken in Stockholm, Sweden.
