Return to Florida 2015 Day 1 Friday 20th Nov 2015

[davidallum]

Before I list my log I should point out that whilst in the states I do not collect run of the mill Beech,Cessna and Pipers etc although some very vintage cessna will make the list,also on this trip my mate Geoff stated that he is a long way behind with his logging and wasn't sure what he needed on the airliner front so I made the decision to record everything we saw and could ID (unless we were sure that we didn't need it) and also it will give an impression of what can be seen "over the pond" for those who haven't been there or indeed a reminder to those who have,anyway enough waffle and on with the log.

We landed at Toronto-Lester B.Pearson's airport at about 12.30 local time to a cold but sunny day and it didn't take too long to get through U.S immigration which enabled us to have about 5 hours spotting before flying onto Tampa.Now anyone who has been to Toronto will know that it is very difficult to monitor all of the action once airside,however we were quite fortunate that our gate for our next flight was opposite the main biz jet area and we could monitor one runway very easily and see stuff on the other runway if it landed long,take offs weren't a problem:

We then boarded Air Canada Rouge A319 C-GBIJ which operated flight AC1894 for the 3hr flight to Tampa where we landed at approx 8.30pm with the temperature a lovely 81 degrees,the only aircraft noted in the dark were a B777 of British Airways and an A330 of Edelweiss.


Our hotel for the night was the La Quinta Inn which is located at the end of runway 1R,so not too far to get too,the hotel does operate a courtesy minibus for this trip.


Part two to follow and will be a log from Tampa down to Naples.
