The air hostess made an announcement saying we were going to land in Toronto in 45 minutes.
Excitedly, we fastened our seatbelts.
As we started descending, and circling, I looked out of the window and saw so many lakes.
And the lakes had boats in them.
So I thought to myself, there's a lot of outdoor activity here.
Ah those good 'ol days of flying ...
I have travelled by air across Africa, Europe and Asia for more than thirty years.
Still remember flying in the Boeing 707, 727 & 737.
Also remember flying BOAC before they became British Airways.
One of the most memorable moments
Was seeing the mountain peaks of the Swiss Alps from the cockpit of a Boeing 747.
Yes, in those days my dad and I would step into the cockpit of our flights to say hello to the pilots!
Don't even think of it today 😊
Flying is now a nightmare, especially within North America
This was our first flight on Air Canada, from London Heathrow to Toronto Pearson.
That was 18 years ago!
And my favourite aircraft is still the Boeing 747
Minutes later, the pilot landed the aircraft so gently, I didn't even realize we had touched down.
This was the smoothest landing I had ever experienced!
We were on one of the last flights of the Air Canada Boeing 747.
A few months later all their Boeing 747's were retired.
This is the most beautiful aircraft ever built!
