Hello everyone,

*PLEASE READ DESCRIPTION FOR TIME STAMPS AND AIRCRAFT INFORMATION*

August 4 was a phenomenal day of plane spotting because a French Bee A350, Lufthansa's special-decorated A350 (Lufthansa & You), LOT's special-decorated Dreamliner (Polish Independence), and even a C-17 Globemaster all showed up within the evening.

The reason the C-17 payed us a visit to YYZ was because that aircraft was carrying refugees from Afghanistan. While I unfortunately missed the arrival, my footage shows the C-17 departing back to Trenton Air Force base. I was so excited to film this, which explains the shakiness - sorry!

French leisure carrier, French Bee recently started flying to Toronto to act as a technical stopover on the Paris to Tahiti route. Pre-pandemic, this flight (BF718/719) would usually make its technical stop at San Francisco. Recently, this flight used to make its stop in Vancouver and Calgary on occasions, but switched to Toronto at the end of July 2021.

Enjoy the video and please feel free to comment, like and subscribe if you wish.
