Plane Spotting @ YYZ Toronto - May 20, 1989

Old terminal 1. Ah my favourite hangout as a kid whenever I'd visit my family in Toronto.

Love seeing the AC and Worldways DC-8s and just wow seeing T3 as nothing more than a steel frame less than 2 years before its opening.

How did you find this video?

Bring back Terminal One please! Many an evening I spent on top of the parking garage at the old T1 taking photos and listening to other aircraft enthusiasts' scanners. Fun times that I miss so much.

Absolutely fantastic! Thank You for posting!

Why is this the creepiest video I've ever watched... that music

2 KLM 747s at the same time? wow!

the emirates around back then?

What happened to the music

do we know why they had two KLM 747's that day? was a it a technical? regards!!! amazing vids more lie this please!!!

now! 30 year old!

Are you sure this isn't earlier then 1989? I saw a CP air 737 still painted in the orange livery.

So many great things to look back on in this video! I love that you scanned all around to catch the older cargo buildings and the new terminals under construction. Lots of familiar stuff in this. Thanks for posting!

Such nostaglia looking at this. Make you want to cry. This is my childhood. Even though I still love aviation, there was so much VARIETY back in these days when it came to the apperance of of airliners. That is lacking now. These are the days when aircraft were LOUD. DC-9's, B737's, B727's. I lived right under the flightpath of RWY24R which is now RWY23.

I'd have to ask him for his logs, but there is a very REAL possibility that this video caught my grandfather landing an Air Canada Boeing 747.

Now if someone could show me a video of a Donaldson airlines 707 at Toronto in the early 70's I would be happy

Air Canada is now embarrassing to what it was at this time!

Hi Brian, love this amazing footage, especially while Terminal 3 was being built. Any chance I can use this in a video I'm making? I will be sure to credit you in the video :).

Wow

The Air Canada 747 my favourite plane air Canada has ever had
