Re: G8/G20 VIP air travel
Well, I found this on the Nav Canada website:

An AIP Supplement that shows you the affected airspace. I might be flying to the south of it to St. Catherines/Niagara on Saturday.

Well, seeing as the guys in the 412 were waving at me, and the guy in the f18 gave me the nod, and a cool afterburner show, I don't think that they mind their pics taken

Re: G8/G20 VIP air travel
EVERYONE POST YOUR PICS ...VIDS...ETC. Many of us find this very cool We have only spent 1 Billion on security thus far... so for someone to tell me I cannot try to enjoy it (aviation is after all my hobby), well , simply just go shove it.
This is a world stage event, and believe it or not, the media is causing more troubles for security than a few little aviation hugging nerds .
KEEP POSTING!

Re: G8/G20 VIP air travel
I did...I did,,, thought it was just propwash LOL. Anyways, more I think about it, makes sense to drop Obama off early friday AM with a 757 at YQA for a shorter heli ride to Deerhurst, that way he can sleep in an extra half hour. Ok, enough speculation...I'll wait for the pics

Same here at YYZ.
Re: G8/G20 VIP air travel
If they spent 1/2 the $$ on solving the issues instead of security, we would all be better off

In light of the recent seismic activity I heard parliament approved another $2B to jack up the infrastructure just built onto vibration isolation curbs, lest the ever important G8 people vibrate around like electric football players like the rest of us.

Re: G8/G20 VIP air travel
Was working hard laying interlocking brick today because of planning to do that work this week due to not wanting to go to town and not able to fly and had helicopters flying overhead all day long. No idea what they were because I just don't know but I'm sure on the last lap when I was having an ice cold one that the one guy in the back smiled when I waved and held up my beer. Please show your photos. I'm sure that this website is likely being monitored and if they don't like what is being posted for whatever reason... It'll get yanked... I doubt from anyone that has ever previously posted here irregardless of their security clearances and information thereto privy.

Re: G8/G20 VIP air travel
I wonder if the petro canada on airport road will be off limits too.
Re: G8/G20 VIP air travel
OK OK. I apologize if I came off a bit pompous in my posts. That was not my intention. Hopefully this will clarify.
My only point is that we cannot as mandated by ATC MANOPS disseminate or divulge actual timings of movements. I can't tell you when to show up or when specific movements are occuring or going to occur. I have NO authority to tell you when, where, and how to get information on anything. We just can't give it out. We could face disciplinary action for breaching this rule as mandated by MANOPS.
I am ex-miltary, former pilot, and I to love to plane spot like the next guy. Especially when it involves movements of planes that are out of the norm. I don't want to piss on anyones parade. Looking back at this thread I believe I came off to harsh. I can understand how some may have sensed a bit of elitist in my typing. THAT was never my initial intent. Happy plane spotting...
I hope this ends this part of the hijacked thread...

Re: G8/G20 VIP air travel
Just went into town (Huntsville). Normally it takes 4 minute from my house to the Metro Store. Today it took three minutes. I picked up a couple extra steaks for the weekend and walked to the check-out and didn't even have to wait in line. That's a first in about 3 years. If it weren't for OPP on foot patrol and in vehicles, there would basically be no one around. Counted 26 black & white OPP cruisers going into town and 32 coming home again. Things are very quiet, I wander if this is what it's all about?? Also, pretty quiet in the sky but now that the storm seems to have blown through maybe that will change.

Re: G8/G20 VIP air travel
G'day
A Transair 737 was here (CYYB) the other day deplaning about 70 military types in civvies.
Lots of exec type traffic over the last week.
We have one Russian Air Force Ил-76 Mд on the Voyager ramp (s/n RA-78818) with another apparently coming in. There is a good possibility of further overflow traffic.
The CF-18's are operating out of here providing CAP.
Cheers...Chris

Re: G8/G20 VIP air travel
C 17 has been in twice today to YQA, pretty cool display, forgot that I had my camera so didn't get anything. Hopefully they will be back.
I don't think that I have ever seen so many tinted out suv's and mini vans in my life, and the popularity of cb antenna's sure has increased.

Re: G8/G20 VIP air travel
Yes American, from the 305th out of NJ.
The OPP took off in their T206 with some kind of camera on the left side(I think), gotta say, I wasn't impressed with how the engine sounded, I would guess it has at least 2 jugs that aren't making power.
Steady flow of helicopters, 412's, rcmp astars, also what I believe to be rcmp caravan, but could be wrong about that.
