Indeed a great view....Canada is on my list when this mess is over !! I find it strange in these days of modern technology with cameras in particular when filming a prop engine in action they still struggle to keep up with the speed....just a silly observation !! Great in flight entertainment out the window !! A most excellent flight Q !! Well done as always and I hope you are safe and well during this awful time !! Thanks again mate !!

    Great stuff. Porter is awesome, I remember when they first started I'd watch their Q400s approaching over the lake when I was out walking my dog. I worked for Trans Capital Air at YTZ over a summer 4 years ago and it's crazy to see how far Porter has come, especially considering how many Canadian airlines have failed to launch or establish themselves well. I have an application in with them now- hopefully will meet their criteria for flight hours around the time hiring picks up again :)

    Of course every time I seem to fly into Newark I am on the wrong side of the airplane. While 22L is more common of a landing direction than 4R, I constantly end up getting 4R but being on the left side of the aircraft which gives me no such views towards the city or the ocean. Anyhow nice capture of an interesting airline and route.
