Plane spotting

The runway is not visible from here, 
but finally found a place where it's easy to park your car 
and do some peaceful plane spotting while having a cup of tea!

This is Emirates A380 EK 242 just after take off now from Pearson International Airport, 
from YYZ to DXB.

It's about 12 kilometres away ...




Now it's almost above me but it's so fast ...
approximately 150 knots (275 kilometres per hour) 
and I'm holding my heavy lens free hand
From this photo you can probably guess where I am ...

And it's gone!


I know it's time for my evening walk when I see my Lufthansa flight 
LH 471 YYZ to FRA
Boeing 747-400
