Hey Guys,
Just curious if there is anyone else here who spots at either CYQX or CYYT. I live in St. John's but Gander is home for me. I have been been spotting at both for years and it would be a nice change if there were others around to share spotting news with (ie what is , or will be on the tarmac...)
I was home in Gander last weekend and was treated to the usual cargo flights, and a KC-10 from McGuire doing touch and go passes. Here are a few queued pics of my weekend's spotting finds:

While CYYT gets a lot more traffic than CYQX , CYQX seems like it was designed with spotting in mind. It is possible to get very close to the departure and approach ends of each runway. Makes for great photography, now if it only had the traffic levels it did in its glory days!
cheers
