That Air Canada 787-9 Dreamliner landing at 14:15 has my heart...never seen anything so gentle
16:47 also...goodness
17:37 guess i have a soft spot for Dreamliners
787s are amazing!
@@cyrildarku8689 honestly they had the softer landing
people tend to shit on the toothpaste livery but it really shines in the snow
7:36 I just loved how the bright green anti ice liquid fades away to white while accelerating, that was amazing.
Agreed!
Never fade away, its the angle of the camera that makes it look that way
Coyote is injured, left back leg. And birds flying ... Beautifully captured video. Thank you very much. :)
i certainly know how it is filming in these conditions... well done!! I loved the Convair appearances as well...
Many thanks bro 😁 same here love seeing those birds
16:45 softer landing ever...great captain!
This has to be one of the best winter plane spotting vids ever, FANTASTIC camera work, loved the closeups of the geese too!!!
Thank you ☺
And the geese didn’t need any deicing!
I can see passengers and crew, lol. Amazing!!
@@She-travels thank you
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. kzhead.info/sun/dt6Kg9Zvi4qwhqs/bejne.html
5:04 damn, that hard landing tho
youre right but I thought it would bounce but it stayed right on the ground
Damn that was hard. On purpose due to conditions at all?? [edit] Wait, then I saw rest of the video. :)
Those Canadian pilots are beasts. They laugh at our weather in the states. Phenomenal flying
Air canada rouge 767 from Toronto just fell to the ground. Ouch
Yeah, ouch indeed
Suspension test. Damn!
kinda looks like the other pilot tried to intervene at the last second but it was a little too late. maybe a new pilot to the 767?
Yeah that made me react out loud, "yikes"
that was a text book landing ,in bad weather u put em down fast.
Thanks for not ruining it with music. The atc communications are great.
18:47 & 25:16 Butter landing! The tilted landing gears makes it so satisfying to watch!
They are the butter machines!!
Your captured footage is so satisfying to watch. Chapeau! One question though, was the wind too strong for your microphone's 'dead cat'?
Thank you! Sometimes it was yes.
Bruh it’s a simulator
@@jaypatil6713 True, 300GB Graphic Pack for Xplane
@@jaypatil6713 yeah man the 3090 is a powerful gpu, the graphics mods you can use with this thing is insane.
@@warrakrys xqcL
14:23 that's awesome you can see the reverse thrust being activated.
11:31 snow intaked, awesome!
where I live we don't get this much snow. TBH it's ice seeing that first 777 land just puts a bright smile on my face it's so cool.
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.
5:13 man that hard landing tho
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.
It is so refreshing to see so much cold and snow everywhere. It is 2023 August and the temperature has been over 100F for over 2 months in South Texas. Wish I was there.
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!
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
4:28 poor old Wile E. Coyote has a bad leg
Yeah 😔
Is there a wildlife rescue in Vancouver? Coyote would be good at bird control. If any birds could survive this weather.
sad :(
@@hs7921 There are probably 10000 coyotes in the surrounding wilderness those animals are a big problem being in protected environments has caused overpopulation they will kill and eat anything do not feel sorry for them. Not a dog.
Daniel LeClare yep in my state Michigan were able to hunt them year round as long as at night, they’re a big problem and over populating, nothing like yote hunting with night vision goggles, they’ll eat your little dog or cat without hesitation, if like to see all these softies pets get snatched by one then see how they feel about them, that’s why I have a big dog to protect my land.
I like the taxing, inbound, wild Coyote!
Almost like drag racing down the runway by yourself just to take off. The pilots have balls of steel.
0:56 one of the perfect landings I have ever seen, Kudos to Pilots
@@joshualucas it was a smooth/ butter landing ; the wheels didn’t touch the ground hard
@@SS-eu2ef if you want to see smooth landing check 18:45, myth says that passengers believe that they are still in the air.......
24:57 This is wath i call ..... A Perfect Landing, just perfection !
Agreed 👌
14:22 smooth like butter!
Wow!You can just see a cute dog running around!
Some of the softest landings I’ve ever watched
Wow, this has to be one of the cleanest snow plane spotting videos I have come across. Very nice shots of the wild life and great camerawork overall.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the episode!
I always wonder about the sun wing passengers coming back from vacation destinations so hot and as soon as they step out get hit by the completely opposite weather. LOL
Agreed
I liked those VFR geese doing a touch and go at the end.
Amazing how these pilots so elegantly take off and land these beautiful birds in any kind of weather.
Especially considering its a simulator.
Nice going here mate, that's dedication to say it looks cold is an understatement but you produced some incredible vision, lots to like!
Many thanks bro, glad you enjoyed 😁
Beautiful landing Air Canada.
wow well caught winter ops on camera. Love the presence of the Convair props !
Thank you
24:56 - smoothest landing ever?
Possibly
Like falling onto a bed of feathers.
Damn. What a landing by a fellow colleague.
The first Air Canada was pretty darn smooth also
@@tomdavis3038 Yup, better than any of my landings to be fair.
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
thank you, :D
*Snowy* condition was even smoother than a regular condition
Best snowy spotting ever! Thank you for the long hard work. You're the best of the planespotting community!
@@oschot58 thank you 😁
That was great to watch! It was funny seeing the Sunwing plane covered in snow!
You can see that one of the Props of the Air Canada Q400 had snow! Beautiful vid!
Air China touchdown 23:15 was so graceful those pilots are on another level indeed. Great video in winter, all angles, audio is professional plus variety in there, the geese, coyote etc
Thank you 😁
13:24 holy shit that uke/tug was hauling ass!! O.o
Is this a Steven Spielberg production? Just wow!!! Congratulations, this video is amazing!!!
Thank you 😁
Canada's Winter is beautiful
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
Haha, glad you enjoyed the video
I have flown into Vancouver many, many times over my career of 45 years and your photography is SPECTACULAR! Thank you for sharing this:-)
Glad you enjoyed!
Actually ET the green stuff is Type IV Anti-icing fluid. Deicing fluid would be orange color. Deicing fluid removes contamination and Anti-icing fluid protects the against precipitations. Cheers.
Correct!
Enjoyed this video, thanks! I really liked the snow geese too, nice to see some high wing aircraft.
Glad you enjoyed
Fun fact: Green stuff is called “Anti Ice” any ice contamination shears off when the plane reaches high speed. I used to de-ice for United airlines… was A blast!!!
Wow! Snow really makes everything better. + the heavy aircraft, WoW!
Agreed 100%
J'aime ces 350 avec le masque de raton-laveur! Got to love those A350 with their raccoon masks!
6:26 the wild coyote was chillin lol
I just realized, parts of engine compartment also open up while landing ! so cool
It is the reverse thrust opening!
Amazing plane spotting snowy. I liked seeing the flock of canadian geese..!!!
Thank you
Looks cool
4:49 that coyote look funny😂
Brilliant footage well done you must been freezing 🥶
Proper clothing 👌
Aircraft is the best thing mankind has ever made. The elegance of this machine is unmatched.
What is that "green/neon colours" on the wings? Well, that is De-icing fluid. It's made to melt ice and snow. If you'd like to know more, there is info and links in the description.
eye trapper Thanks!
I was surprised that there was still some on the wings after a WestJet flight from Halifax to Toronto.
@@KWHCoaster ฟ
@kyle1490 kyle1490 when the aircraft takes off!
i guess it is Type VI de-icing fluid
The entire video is gorgeous, but the capture at 3:02-3:55 is just stunning! When the scene changed after liftoff from the airport to the sky? WOW
Glad you enjoyed!
Superb videography and subject matter. The snow highlights thrust and, on landing, the wing wake. That poor Coyote had a bad rear leg...
4:23 Aviation and Animal planet all wrapped in one...Love it.
It's cold enough, with the snow and the de-icing, but the dark clouds, seem to make it look much colder.
Indeed it was
These shots are amazing! The steam created by the engines make them look even more beautiful. Great job!
thank you, agreed
so COOL ... another Video that flashed me so much !!!
Thank for for the ultra wide, I appreciate it
11:55 those BIG engines!
I would never thought I'd see the day when I'm watching a video of plane taking off and arriving LOL
Super video what a well organised Airport in extreme conditions
Man il fly from anywhere any time if your on station with your camera giving me the green light. you are the best.
I appreciate it!
11:37 Snow-Wing :D This is amazing, great work, really inspiring!
😄 thank you
That rouge landing at 5 min was like he was coming down on an aircraft carrier, get er down quick.
Agreed lol
Welcome to Canada!!!! BAM!!!!
Beautiful!
That little old wolf/coyote keeps most of the birds out of the way! Lol great video
That first landing was BEAUTIFUL!
Agreed
Right!!
Hello student pilots, today we are going to learn about how to land a plane. How not to: 5:09 How to: 25:16 Special thanks to #eyetrapper for allowing us to use their material. Class adjourned.
agreed
@SunLi Tsong look closely
The bottom fell out on the first one, possible downdraft. While the second had the wind working with him or her?
Well, that 5:09 had "rouge" written all over it so... 😂
I cannot make out the difference
This in 4K would have been STUNNING
It was recorded in 4k but it would be to much to export and upload in 4k
@@eyetrapper such a shame! But still an amazing vid bud, keep up the good work! Cheers from France
@@eagleonefr many thanks! Maybe this winter I will provide a 4K snow video 😉
The visual is stunning..so smooth, so sharp..also the audio very2 satisfying..its like being there myself..tq nice job
5:10 - The whole airport: “OUUU” 😬
Lol
even heavier than a ryanair landing
Yep not much flare there
Come on it’s not too bad. Look at the gear, it’s not even using full suspension on impact
The AC rouge smashed the landing at 5:09 lol. Nice video :)
Indeed, thanks
It is amazing that some of the larger jets still want to take off with snow on their wings and fuselage.
that is some smooth ass landings sheesh
God these newer airplanes are so much smoother than older ones.
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.
Many thanks 😁
Air Canada near the end gave me chills
Good job ET!!! You are the best
Thank you
7:30 That is a money shot take off! Great spotting!
Thank you!
They're the best in the business in this kind of weather. If we in Philly had to deal with that kind of weather, forget about it.
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
Agreed, winter spotting is definitely the best.
@@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?
@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.
In UK, we close all airports with 2 inches of snow. Health and safety reasons 😋
this is mindblowing to think that two or three little guys in the cockpit are piloting such powerful, complex and large machines
Seeing passenger planes take off might be one of the best things to do in life
Capital airlines had a beautiful landing!!
Canada has the most beautiful flag
Dude!! Amazing catch of the china Southern man!! at 16:49 😍😍 So satisfying!! ❤️ Keep on uploading the videos!! Much love!!🙌🏻♥️
The whole airport is a well oiled machine!
I really do like the camera movement. I watched other plane spotting vids and they don't know how to work the camera like you. You are talented.
Thank you 😁
8:03 That shot was mesmerizing!
:D indeed
The Air Transat in the beginning at 2:13 looks really cool i think!
Indeed
Nice view
Thank you
Brilliant, really good stuff, they put that Rouge 767 down rather firmly! Great to see some take offs too. 👍
Thanks bud, indeed, ouch haha. Glad you enjoyed
Excellent shots, that's so nice to see this great footage of YVR under the snow!
thank you
Interesting to see reverse thrusters are engaged before nose gear touches down in some cases. Great shot by the way
