IFATC At Home [ Canadian Rockies ] LeonardIF18 [OPEN]

[LeonardIF18]

Today I will be presenting 3 of the beautiful west cost Canadian airports: CYVR | CYYC | CYEG 🇨🇦

These airport are close to beautiful Rocky Mountains that I’m sure you will get a great scenery from the sky!

Rocky Mountains , also known as the Rockies , are a major mountain range located in western North America. The Rocky Mountains stretch 3,000 km (1,900 mi) in straight-line distance from the northernmost part of British Columbia, in western Canada, to New Mexico in the Southwestern United States.

Vancouver International Airport CYVR

Vancouver International Airport located in Richmond, British Columbia. It’s about 12 km from Downtown Vancouver. It is the second busiest airport in Canada by aircraft movements and passengers, behind Toronto Pearson International Airport. This is the most beautiful airport I ever been too, it was very nice inside and interesting walk around!

@LeonardIF18
Can I say
YVR is takeoffs 26L and Landings 26R
08R takeoffs except cargo and landings 08L

[LeonardIF18]

Yeah, I know that but since we have no traffic it’s ok to just let pilot takeoff any runway

[LeonardIF18]

CYVR Now closed thx everyone for stop by

I will be open later tonight!

[Cody_M]

[LeonardIF18]
