Spectacular Heavy SNOW Arrivals, Departures & DE-icing | Plane Spotting at Vancouver YVR

[@sachinrv1]

Aircraft is the best thing mankind has ever made. The elegance of this machine is unmatched.

[@Aircraftscape787]

For real

[@Barzins1]

Thanks for not ruining it with music. The atc communications are great.

[@cyrildarku8689]

That Air Canada 787-9 Dreamliner landing at 14:15 has my heart...never seen anything so gentle

[@cyrildarku8689]

16:47 also...goodness

[@cyrildarku8689]

17:37 guess i have a soft spot for Dreamliners

[@eyetrapper]

787s are amazing!

[@JROD8796]

@@cyrildarku8689 honestly they had the softer landing

[@AD_RC]

people tend to shit on the toothpaste livery but it really shines in the snow

[@PlaneSpotterhdCuritiba]

One of the most beautiful videos I have ever 😉

[@eyetrapper]

Thank you

[@lanistreb-tozer7886]

Amazing how these pilots so elegantly take off and land these beautiful birds in any kind of weather.

[@inncogneato6341]

Especially considering its a simulator.

[@kevin1873]

Even though this video is almost a year old now, this is one of the best planet spotting videos I've come crossed so far. Maybe it's just the perfect setting. The time of day is good, the visibility and the snow cover really make the plane colors pop beautifully. It was also a special treat to see that Convair 340 as well.

[@CBLounge2112]

This has to be one of the best winter plane spotting vids ever, FANTASTIC camera work, loved the closeups of the geese too!!!

[@eyetrapper]

Thank you ☺

[@gerardacronin3095]

And the geese didn’t need any deicing!

[@She-travels]

I can see passengers and crew, lol. Amazing!!

[@eyetrapper]

@@She-travels thank you

[@davebarclay4429]

This certainly is an excellent video. If you want more snowy planes check out Casey Planespotting at Salzburg, it's almost as good and there's more falling snow but there is no ATC. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eau0hKVtib2tidU

[@nightdiamond]

I would never thought I'd see the day when I'm watching a video of plane taking off and arriving LOL

[@thxdts]

I intended to watch for a few minutes, but was hooked by the great camera work and watched it to the end!

[@eyetrapper]

Great to hear!

[@drummerboy1545]

Almost like drag racing down the runway by yourself just to take off. The pilots have balls of steel.

[@BOXAXIU]

7:36 I just loved how the bright green anti ice liquid fades away to white while accelerating, that was amazing.

[@eyetrapper]

Agreed!

[@sopamarucha2388]

Never fade away, its the angle of the camera that makes it look that way

[@eyetrapper]

Hope you enjoy this special edition of plane spotting 😁. I apologize for any shaky or sudden movements, it was fairly cold for my fingers and my tripod fluid head. 😋 Cheers

[@eyetrapper]

thank you, :D

[@charltongioprepena9325]

*Snowy* condition was even smoother than a regular condition

[@oschot58]

Best snowy spotting ever! Thank you for the long hard work. You're the best of the planespotting community!

[@eyetrapper]

@@oschot58 thank you 😁

[@santiagobenites]

That was great to watch! It was funny seeing the Sunwing plane covered in snow!

[@semperfi1042]

Those Canadian pilots are beasts. They laugh at our weather in the states. Phenomenal flying

[@sherryhook9066]

Thank you for showing landings at one of our country's busy airports.

[@eyetrapper]

It was fun to film them

[@sherryhook9066]

I bet! Have you seen AC's Retro Airbus A220? Just saw the article on Google.

[@eyetrapper]

@@sherryhook9066 not yet. Have yet to see it while spotting

[@wutguycreations]

I've just discovered how satisfying it looks when the jets blow the snow in a big vortex behind them when landing and taking off. Thank you for this

[@eyetrapper]

Agreed, winter spotting is definitely the best.

[@wutguycreations]

@@eyetrapper Yeah, it does seem cool! I want to try spotting one day. I mean I can't do it now bc I'm only 15 and don't have the resources to do it lol would you have any advice for someone who wants to try it?

[@eyetrapper]

@Wut Guy Creations Great to hear you want to get into spotting. If you don't have a camera already, save up for one and look at flight tracking apps to familiarize the types of routes and aircraft that are at your airport. Knowledge of planes is one part to becoming a plane spotter.

[@guillermotd]

16:45 softer landing ever...great captain!

[@lathamarea1437]

Some of the softest landings I’ve ever watched

[@BruceCulver-t4c]

Twelve years in a JET-A truck at YVR. Kelowna Convairs during snow conditions were "interesting". Nice to see KFF. This video is a masterpiece.

[@garycody1929]

Some of the liveries look spectacular against the white

[@rickmacpherson1413]

I have flown into Vancouver many, many times over my career of 45 years and your photography is SPECTACULAR! Thank you for sharing this:-)

[@eyetrapper]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@edisonz2006]

18:47 & 25:16 Butter landing! The tilted landing gears makes it so satisfying to watch!

[@TheBassLiner]

They are the butter machines!!

[@packstevewood]

What an awesome visual contrast. Big beautiful birds dropping out of the atmosphere against the backdrop of an angry grey stormy winter sky and touching down on an icy runway lined by the bright snowy white ground. You picked a great day for plane spotting. Sorry for your cold hands but thanks for enduring the elements.

[@eyetrapper]

Many thanks, all worth it

[@TheFlightReporter]

Beautfiul snowy landscape !!

[@eyetrapper]

Indeed

[@OHAREAVIATION]

i certainly know how it is filming in these conditions... well done!! I loved the Convair appearances as well...

[@AppleSolutionsHD]

You can see that one of the Props of the Air Canada Q400 had snow! Beautiful vid!

[@slukas1375]

No one could accuse you of being a fairweather planespotter, ET. You're out there even when it's pretty harsh. Always appreciate the YVR wildlife (looks like our coyote friend has a lame leg?); and the focus on YVR's support workers (de-icing and snow removal teams) - neither of those jobs look easy. One of those Convair CV-340's (C-GKFF) is over 66 years old! Amazing she's still in service. Great video, as always, ET!

[@eyetrapper]

thanks bro :D. yeah I'm not sure whats up with him :(. agreed they are working hard out there. I agree, its unbelievable that the still do weekly flights

[@tr_g]

Coyote is injured, left back leg. And birds flying ... Beautifully captured video. Thank you very much. :)

the fact this is only uploaded in 1080p60, and STILL looks INCREDIBLE, is probably a testament to how good this camera setup is. RX10 IV doesn't even look like cinema camera O.O

For sure, this is the best winter spotting in the web so far ! Including the clear voice ATC and the sceneries with the animals living there. The planes are so sharp and clear to see despite the weather condition. The effective width seems more than 16:9 and looks like a film in theater. Thanks also for sharing with us on your channel some details of your equipments, software and experience.

Didn’t you like it?😮

[@archvile1313]

5:09 that's a hard landing, pilot forgot to flare earlier?

[@schmo78]

There is nothing less usefull in aviation than the runway behind you, so I guess this was absolutely on purpose. Landing distance is increased significantly in such conditions, so it´s much more important to get the plane down as soon as possible than trying to break the record for the softest possible landing. There would probably not much time to be proud of, if you overshoot the runway.

[@SixTenVisuals]

You and Manchester have the best spotter vids hands down.

[@eyetrapper]
