Notes:

The famous "Gimli Glider" has just been retired from the Air Canada fleet.But before her last trip to MHV,under the call sign "Air Canada Glider,she had to say goodbye for a last time with an amazing fly-by and wing shake over runway 06R in front of the AC hangar. So long "Glider" you'll be missed for sure. This picture is also the 5000th picture taken at YUL on Jetphotos.net.
