I have been a plane spotter since I was a Kid, Laying on the deck with Bins watching the jets flying over the Niagara region. This interest turned into a long career in Aviation manufacturing.
On a good day here in Halton on the approach to 5 and 6 at Pearson we get to see many on approach. Yesterday was a good day when the low clouds cleared out. Finally figured out a good system "radarbox site"
plus "liveatc site" set to the approach at Pearson is much better than flightaware.

My husband worked on the rig to test the landing gear for the triple 7 at Menasco back in the mid 90s. He worked R & D testing jet engines for many years and on the Ironbird for the Global Express.

Cool! I worked at Downsview as a Process Planner on Dash-8's and Lear wing, then ended up as a Functional test writer (FTP) on the Q400. Worked closely with Landing Gear rep in the delivery center during my last few years there. Just a few of my many tasks.
FTP= Functional test procedures.
