We love airplanes, you love airplanes, so let's go look at airplanes! In our Prime Plane Spotting series, we'll let you in on all the best spots to whip out your cameras and binoculars for a piece of the aviation action.
With all the recent talk of Virgin America possibly setting up some routes to both Vancouver and Toronto, we thought it'd be nice to take a look at what people are seeing from ground now at Vancouver International Airport (YVR).
Sea, mountains, and a neverending stream of international jumbo jets and itty-bitty island-hoppers make Vancouver Airport truly interesting to both amateur and serious plane spotters. The best place to set up shop, or even just go for a leisurely stroll underneath landing planes, is on the Iona Jetty at Iona Beach Park. It is actually a sewage outflow pipe, but don't let that stop you from enjoying the experience.
True to Vancouver's outdoorsy mood, cyclists, runners and dog walkers are welcome on the jetty, just make sure to bring you camera. You don't want to miss the airplane arrivals from Asia. If you don't believe us that this jetty is perfectly situated to spot flights from Vancouver, one glimpse at its location on Google Maps will set you right. Click the little map square above to see what we mean.
