The @Airbus A340 is a large aircraft, but check out the size difference of the fuselage and engines on the A380 😳 @yvrairport #yvrspotters #Vancouver #Runway13 #comparo

A bit of an off-roading adventure for a maintenance crew only taxiing in an @AirCanada Boeing 787 earlier today. It’s been tugged out now. I have lots of photos too 😎

A few photos of the excursion. They pulled it out with a Y shaped sling to both main landing gear. Pretty cool. Not the first time this has happened, and not specific to Air Canada. #yvrspotters #Vancouver

While I’m reminiscing about aircraft we aren’t seeing @yvrairport anymore, here's one of my favorite photo targets - @british_airways @airbus #A380 . Some airlines are reactivating their A380’s. Hmm 🤔 #yvrspotters #avgeek #Vancouver #GXLEK
