The BEST of 2023! Plane Spotting HIGHLIGHTS at YYC, YEG, and MORE! (4K)

2023 was quite a year for the aviation industry, with lots of new developments, and of course, plenty of interesting planes to see.
Calgary International Airport was no exception, welcoming several new destinations, and a few unique visitors too. At the end of each year, I usually put together a little "best of" video highlighting those special visitors.
This year though, I thought I would open it up to all of the airports I'd been to in 2023, which in many cases, were just for these planes. My personal favourites are probably Air Greenland's A330 in Fort McMurray and NASA's DC-8 at Paine Field.
So, without further ado, please enjoy my highlights for plane spotting on this channel in 2023.

I’d forgotten about the Turkish diversion until now!

[@Lakenflies]

Student pilot based out of YMM, so surreal to hear the call sign of an aircraft I’ve flown in one of these videos!

[@RubenThomas]

Nice to see a fellow aviator from Fort McMurray. Hope your flying continues to go well.

[@brucecanmore3788]

I loved lots of your broadcasts, each is different. The complete Abbostsford segment this year was really appreciated. Your capture of Calgary skyline and the Rockies is really inspiring. Looking forward to your 2024 content. You are one Of The best!

[@ralphwatt8752]

Thankyou Alex " Happy New Year " " Happy Flying "

[@nybotor1]

Excellent compilation of this year's best moments Alex! Some of those moments will be hard to top next year.

[@handen]

I flew from Calgary to Toronto in December, and as we landed I was hella surprised to see an Antonov An-124 off to the right of the runway. Then I realized it must be the one that got confiscated when Russia invaded Ukraine, and sure enough it was. Still totally blew my mind to see it though.

[@strangesmile7801]

Thank you for Posting. Great Job Mate

[@Magyar9Andras]

11:02 Looks like the Lufthansa "Kranich" logo under the cockpit window

[@brianfleming6021]

Fantastic year Alex

[@mikejackman4416]

Awesome year end wrap up Alex

[@Unuthryear]

Ameristar is Deportation Express in the US

[@ronkube2280]

Awesome video Alex. Lots of great things to see in 2023. Too bad you missed the Kingfisher when it came in June.

[@jacobens]

[@donn7261]

Looks like you had a good year. Here's hoping for even more in 24.

[@CharlesLambert137]

Love your passion and dedication to finding great shots of a wide variety of aircraft. Looking forward to your videos in 2024!

[@StillSpotting]

I actually saw one of those Kc-135’s. I was on a flair airlines max 8 from Ottawa, when we were taxiing a KC-135 was parked right beside gettingn refueled, which was pretty cool to see since it was quite bad weather out.

[@naturallyherb]

Very nice!

[@RoamingWithCharlie]

Lets gooooo!!!

[@Enthai21]

Which runway did the klm 777 land in YYC?

[@YQRAviation]

Wow Calgary Hos Alot pOf Traffic

[@arlenealcanta8ra771]

Where in yyc is that?

[@mikemontgomery2654]

I’d love to sit down with you someday and share our experiences in aviation spotting. I’ve got some unique stuff I could share that, I think you’d be interested in seeing.

[@GoosePlanesGoose]

Im jealous, I live by toronto pearson and i never see these planes.

[@willgray854]

Thats a lot of flap on that DC-8 for takeoff holy crap they must be REALLY heavy, or the runway is short, but still, thats more than usual for airliners.

[@DoseofIT]

Can anyone tell me the location for spotting plane at Calgary International Airport
