2015 YYZ Runway Run.

Late September, a team from Flight Operations joined 3,000 runners for the sold out 8th annual 5K Pearson Runway Run.

The race was completed under ideal conditions on runway 06L/24R while taking in active traffic on 06R/24L. The team included both first-time racers and veteran runners, many who ran personal bests.

This year marked the 10th anniversary of the Toronto Pearson Runway Run, and we welcomed over 2,500 participants for a unique opportunity to participate in a 2km walk or a 5km run on Runway 06R/24L.

Thanks to all the runners, walkers, and volunteers who came out to make our 10th Annual Runway Run such a huge success. All participants were treated to incredible views and up close encounters with the equipment, people and animals who make Toronto Pearson a world-class airport!

Thanks to the almost 2,500 neighbours who joined us for our 11th annual Toronto Pearson Runway Run in either the 5km run or 2km.

We would also like to thank our many sponsors as well as our 200 amazing volunteers and staff who made the event such a success.

2019 YYZ Runway Run was the 12th annual run.

Boeing 737 MAX with a few hops that will originate in Canada but will be conducted over Washington State.

In late June, the FAA did its flight evaluation of changes to the flight control software that will change the way the aircraft’s background automated flight systems operate.

Several other jurisdictions want to fly the changes before signing off on them and Canada will get its chance this coming week.

The test aircraft will make the 20-minute hop from near Seattle to Vancouver to pick up the Transport Canada inspectors and the tests will be done over Washington.

The Canadians will be dropped off in Vancouver after the flight, thus avoiding any issues from the COVID-19-related closure of the border between the two countries.

Abandoned Airport.

Robert Mueller Municipal Airport, USA.

Robert Mueller Municipal Airport served the city of Austin in Texas from 1928 to 1999 when it was officially closed and replaced by the Austin Bergstrom International Airport.

Now built over, the only thing that reminds us that one day there was an airport here is the old control tower.
