Thanks. From far it looked like a Cessna, then like a Antonov but then this weird thing! I've seen it once over my house in the summe. Maybe it tracks weather? It parked by two NAV Canada CRJ200's. I wish we got more Jazz 752's and the FRA arrival. Apparently it departs but not shown arriving, possible rapidair flight from YYZ turns into it.

It's equipment for doing geophysical surveys - for mining, etc.

That Canadian North 737 looks like one old bird.

Wow, coming in one after another in that one pic. What a miracle. Actually, I went one weekend last summer and 5 came in the span of about 12 minutes, then I waited for 45 and nothing came. Haha, shame it gets dark so early.

Nice pics, though. Have that same Canadian North registration surprisingly quite a few times in my photos. Although I guess they don't fly to very many places.

I shall be there tomorrow, hopefully a thread upcoming.

That's what I was going to suggest. We have a rig similar to that flying in our area now and then, but it is towed under and behind a chopper.
