Shalom and greetings all my pals,

Presenting an early morning nice cargo hauling Canada style from CYYC Calgary International Airport 11 miles northeast of downtown Calgary to CYWG Winnipeg James Armstrong Richardson International Airport located in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.

Being loaded heavily with tons of cargo

Ready for pushback!!

Starting monster GE90 engines!!

Long taxiing to short of runway 29

Holding on taxiway F short of runway 29 awaiting for clearance for take off

Waiting for take off allows me nice view of sunrise!!!

Airborne on climb to FL350 turning left toward east

Posted Image

Nice sunrise view during climb

Check out amazing view of entire city of Calgary basked in glowing nightlights!

Posted Image

Passing entire city of Calgary

Posted Image

Must be tough to identify what street or which neighborhood in night!!!  Cannot see!!

Posted Image

I recognize this area even though it is in night!!!  That is in business district of Calgary exactly below the plane and Eau Claire neighborhood above the left engine where you can see Prince's Island Park in middle of Bow River running across the screenshot. On bottom of screenshot is Elbow River. You can see five bridges starting from left to right called 5 Ave SE bridge, Langevin Bridge, Centre St bridge, and 10 Street NW bridge.

On final runway approach to runway 18 battling against snowstorm

TOUCHDOWN

Posted Image

Engaging reverse thrusters can produce cool snow blowing

Posted Image

Very very slippery icy runway meaning that I must go all the way to end of runway braking down carefully to avoid sliding
