1967 Volkswagen Beetle

Since 1963 our family has owned several Volkswagen Beetles.
Here is my 1967 1500cc VW






Airbus A380-800 takeoff from Toronto Pearson International Airport

Cloudy, about 11 degreec C and it's a cool afternoon.
From Danville park, Terminal 1 is more than 5 kilometres away 
(all distances as the crow flies)
Either I find another spot closer to the runway, or 
I get a camera like the Nikon P1000 for better photos.



Today's sole purpose,
is to take photos of the Airbus A380-800, and 
Emirates EK 242 is parked right there! 
(5 kilometres away)

The CN tower is 23 kilometres away
