So, is Trump planning to do away with US farm subsidies? "The U.S. government presently pays about $25 billion in cash annually to farmers and owners of farmland." That must tip the scales of "fair" competition. There's way too many votes from farm states to ever change all the subsidies.

XA-UHZ was once with Royal and Canada 3000 as C-FRYH In 2000 and 2001

That aircraft is WOW's first 321 NEO. Guess it gets better range than the older ones.

Is it the guy who did United Hates Guitars?

Speaking of the Il-76, there was one doing a series of flights from YYB to a gravel strip on Baffin Island. Someone mentioned that there was a film crew doing a TV show or series about that operation. Does anyone know when and where that show or series is to be released?

Didn't Canada exchange CF 101's with some National Guards units? Not much publicity about that.

Air Canada is also operating evac flights. A 777 just landed from MIA and another is scheduled to depart MIA this evening. Together, they have about 900 seats!

I always thought Preclearance was put in to help US carriers. They could take pax from YYZ - ORD (or ATL etc) and the aircraft and some pax would continue to Salt Lake or some other western destination that Canadian carriers couldn’t get approval for. The worst example was Eastern used to fly YYZ - BUF and on to MCO, TPA, FLL, MIA while Air Canada and others couldn’t get any more landing rights. That’s all changed now so they’ve made the fees so high for preclearance that it encourages some price conscious pax to drive to BUF etc. Its not for the convenience of Canadians.
