Below..........The final flyby of Air Canada's C-GAUN, fin #604, at Montreal's Pierre Trudeau airport (CYUL) on Jan 24th/08 before heading to the Mojave desert for retirement. This is the infamous aircraft that ran out of fuel in July 1983 and glided to a safe landing in Gimli, Manitoba

This is the famous "Gimli Glider" Which flew to a safe landing after fuel exhaustion over Manitoba, Canada, on July 23, 1983. It returned to service and flew for many years until it was retired to the desert in 2007. Mojave Airport, Mojave, California, May 30, 2009..........what a truly sad picture....!!!

This UPS Boeing 747 arrived on runway 06 after a flight from Dubai. Runway 06 has no ILS, so this was a visual approach. Have a look at the heavy vibrations of the Flaps directly after touchdown.





Nite Nite .........."Peep".......Love you.....!
