Hey everyone, well it is finally here, the infamous China Eastern Airlines heavy Airbus A340 arriving over Dixie Road onto RWY 05 on a not-so-great Wednesday afternoon. This inaugural landing marks the start of a 3x weekly schedule between Shanghai, China and Toronto, Ontario, Canada flying on every Sunday, Wednesday, and Friday with an A340. In 2015 or 2016, the A340 will phase out of the China Eastern fleet but the Boeing 777-300ER will most likely take over the job. I was originally going to upload this yesterday but I couldn't because I was at a concert with my friend from school. The landing was a typical smooth but not-so-smooth landing and notice how this aircraft has an engine darker than the other. So many spotters were out that day to catch this flight. They include: CenturyHornet, The Jay Spot, some Threshold members, and others that I have met up with and talked to. Tomorrow is Heavy Aircraft Friday and you guys get to vote between:

1) Emirates Airbus A380 landing on RWY 05
2) Air Transat Airbus A333 landing on RWY 05

Please vote for your favourite plane out of the two options and the winner will be up tomorrow but it will be up earlier than usual since I am going plane spotting tomorrow as well to look out for 3 more inaugural flights. But for now, I leave you with China Eastern's first flight in Eastern Canada.
