Thanks, I had only planned on going to shot the Vietnam plane, but due to Covid there have been some unusual visitors.

but due to Covid there have been some unusual visitors.

If only that was CLT, lol 😂. The only special visitor we’ve had is a World Atlantic MD-80 (still amazing though). But we always have the normal CRJ, ERJ, CRJ, A320 routine most of the time.

Well my home airport of CYXU has had 1 daily Westjet Encore Dash 8 flight. Sometimes we get a diversion from CYHM when they have low fog. Wish I didn’t have to drive for 2 hours for all of these.

Great photos! What a lovely livery, Vietnam’s livery. I like all the other catches too. I actually saw the Air Canada retro a few years back at LAX!

Thanks. I’m happy I got the retro since it is included in the A319 retirement.
