Hi Jo-Anne,

Is there a link where I can get more info? I probably won't go to Pearson but I'm close to the glidepath for a/c coming in from the east. Thanks.

Hi Bob.  I'm happy you caught her!  :D

I was standing out on the grass for the Airside tour, watching her land then taxiing past then they took us to where she was parked for some really up close & personal looks and photos - beside, behind and in front.  Wow, what a beauty - the huge Rolls Royce engines are unbelievable!  Then we were driving around the Infield very close to the active runways! This has been a truly spectacular afternoon!   8)

Also, according to a GTAA official, apparently she's now departing on Monday instead of Sunday.

That second shot is spectacular !

interesting flexy like winglets.

Sunday hmmm..

Beautiful bird in Boeing livery..  Is that why traffic was so screwed up at 3pm westbound on the 401 today.

I remember what happened when the 380 came in for a visit, the highway was a disaster.

Napper!

Hi everyone.  The following photos were taken by my boyfriend Mark.







We were standing just to the right of these employees ...

Further update (good grief) ....

 :roll:

Apparently she's departing tomorrow morning (Sunday, March 4th) at 8am.  I will be checking the FlightAware site around 7am'ish to see what's listed.
