I mentioned I used to enjoy looking at planes from the roof of Toronto's old Terminal One. I did some digging on Airliners.net this evening and found some interesting shots you may want a peek at. I didn't take these pictures, but they give a good idea of what you would see in a typical day. Hope you don't mind me posting them here.
