This is a collection of short movies (actually mpeg's) taken by myself (Alan Rust) on Aug 21 and 22/99 outside the hangar in YVR. TCC was busy taking passengers on Dream Take Flight sightseeing trips. I used a Sony Mavica camera in "movie" mode to take this clips. Note: you must have a "mpeg" viewer installed on your system and enabled on your browser in order to play these movies. Please go here if you need it. Don't forget to turn your sound up as well!

Run up

CF-TCC was doing a run-up after routine maintenance and I caught it as it taxied past me.

Engine Start 1

I captured CF-TCC starting it's engines prior to a sightseeing flight for DTF.  You'll notice that after the second engine start I noticed I was a little too close so you can see the movement in the camera as I walked back. You can hear the distinctive sound of the engines as well. (60 seconds)

Engine Start 2

This movie is similar to the one above except I stood further back this time. <g> (60 seconds)

Engine Start 3

Another engine start, using a larger image frame. Unfortunately, a A340 (I think) takes off in the background. (15 seconds)  (I like the sound of the radial engines, can you tell?)

Taxi for Take off

This movie is of CF-TCC taxiing away from the hangar. (60 seconds)

Lift off

Finally we get to see a take-off. It's kinda jerky, not the pilots fault, it's the picture taker!

Take off #2

Second takeoff, opposite direction and large format. You can hear the engines better in this one. (15 seconds)
