Hello everyone,

On Friday, March 25, 2016, also known as Good Friday, I decided to go plane spotting at Toronto Pearson Airport for the fifth time this year. Can you spot the two differences with this video?

1) This is a NEW SPOTTING PLACE! Usually, if planes were landing on RWY 23, I would be at Wendy's on Airport Rd. Today, I finally managed to film planes at "The Birds Nest", which is essentially, on top of a 3-story parking garage. Ernest and the Toronto Pearson Aviation group came up with the name. On weekends or bank holidays, this place is filled with spotters. I hope you like the new spotting place just as much as I do.

2) I used my tripod for the first time in Toronto. I am starting to get used to using the tripod but it still needs a bit of clearing up to do, but not much. 

Enjoy the video and do not forget to comment, rate and subscribe!
