YUL has a lovely viewing area with a grandstand. This year they have also built a big earth mound which allows for even better views over the fence. Good for photography in the morning, the only downside is the stand and mound are both too close for anything bigger than a 737-800 on the runway.

Cheers,

very nice selection James. thanks for posting them.

Is that a viewing area with nice terraced seating in the 4th photo? - it's a simple but very nice facility for watching / spotting and looks like it can get you well above the fence line for photography - a few British airports could learn from something like that.

The only thing I'm not overly keen on is the watermark, it is rather large & bold and distracts the eye especially on the airborne shots where there's nothing for it to blend into. I understand entirely the reason for watermarking (I do it myself) but I prefer a less obvious type so that viewers concentrate on the subject without being drawn away by the watermark. It's only my opinion but thought I would mention it

great set and would love to see some more

Lovely set James. Well done By the way like the Air Inuit 737 with gravel deflector kit. A real out in the wilds capable aeroplane.

Great selection in nice weather,but the real question is was there anywhere to get a cup of Earl Gray! Hope you and your Dad and Colin got something last weekend regards Peter & Kevin.
