Click on this link to see where one of our favourite spots is to watch and photograph planes. The loop around the tip of Runway 25 on Alert Road has a few spots you can stop and get good views as the planes land, from both sides of the runway. Check your scanner or Nav Canada to see what runway is in use as well the flight list for CYOW at www.flightaware.com

Boeing 737

This is an Air Canada Boeing 737-800 landing in Ottawa. It was late in the day and the light was beautiful. We used a scanner to listen in on the chatter between the tower and pilot.

A different kind of plane

We saw this plane on approach to the Ottawa airport (CYOW). A quick search found it to be a Seawind. I think the company is operating from Quebec now. Interesting look bird though.
