Hello everyone, here is something special for you all, you may know him as smoky, you may know him as gigantic, and you may know him as completely beautiful and rare, here is......THE ANTONOV!!!! 

YES!!! I finally caught one of those amazing birds today arriving on RWY 23. Special shout out goes to CenturyHornet and the Toronto Pearson Aviation crew for giving me a heads up for this beauty arriving. Can you believe this big badass jet (excuse me for the language) is 28 years old. But I say it's 28 years young. 

Fun fact for you all: these types of planes used to fly into Pearson regularly many years ago because they were associated with a cargo contract. So here is this beauty for you all so sit back, relax, and enjoy my video of the gracious and smoky Antonov arrival at Pearson. 

Also, funny thing was, I was the only guy occupying this spot whereas everyone was across the street. LOL

Enjoy the video and don't forget to comment, rate, and subscribe!
