Hi everybody.

One of my other true loves is aviation - birds of the "metal" kind.

I just found out today that I've now become a member of YYZ Airport Watch!  This is a real thrill and honour for me!  

It seems that there are some other birders here in this forum that share my love of aviation and are plane spotters also!  

Jo-Anne   :D

Very cool, however I admit, I don't know what that means. Does this qualify you for exemption from harassment by police? If so can I join? :)

It's definitely a Q400, not sure of what carrier it is though.

Hi Cody.  

It's one of two DHC8-Q400's that are supposed to be going to Horizon Air in Seattle.  Two previous ones were flown to Tucson for storage.

btw - Cool sighting of a non-standard 2-tone green c/s!  :cool:
