Unfortunately, Bernard choose the wrong viaduct. The sun was illuminating the left side of the plane and by positioning himself to the north, he photographed the shadowed side.

It was in the front section and shot by Bernard Brault of La Presse. He shot it from the 13 but perpendicular to the plane facing south. The shot is as the plane is flying over the 13. You get a very good impression of the magnitude of it because you can compare it to the cars and trucks stuck in traffic. Sweet Mother of Pearl that thing is huge!

The following was taken from the comments in an earlier entry: 13 Nov, CYUL/KCMO, departure CYUL at 13:00 local 15 Nov, KCMO/CYUL, arrival CYUL at 10:00 local 15 Nov, CYUL/LFPG, departure CYUL at 22:00 local Scratch that last one. A nighttime departure is gonna suck. Of course, you're more than welcome to prove me wrong. You’ll have 3 more chances to see it in motion.

It looks like a regular old plane.. I wasn’t there but the photos don’t really seem to show the magnitude of the thing. It looks like a regular old plane..
