Hi everyone.  

Today was truly an aviation person's dream tour - getting to go up into the YYZ ATC tower with some fellow YYZ Airport Watch members.  Wow, the view from up there is incredible - both inside the tower and on the external catwalk!  It was also amazing to see how long the runways actually are - a very different perspective from high up than from ground level.  Really nice ATC people.  An interesting event!  :D

It was great getting to finally meet Attila for the first time at this tour after yakking with him here on the Birding forum for ages!  8)

btw Attila - did you happen to catch what type of military aircraft buzzed the tower around 2pm?  

Jo-Anne  :)

Was definitely worth the price of admission, no doubt about it.   Although the resident red tails didn't like being left outside the barbed wire fence....:lol:  With the quiet day at the airfield, even the deer came out to play...check out the wildlife section.

As well, it was finally nice to meet Jo-Anne after so much time talking here on the forum.  :D

Jo-Anne - Harvard II, photo to come later.... :wink:

I really do.
It looks like he's been refused entry to the party of the year.
