Drake is in Town, But Not at a Good Time

Drake recently announced he was stepping back from touring, but this comes after he has been on quite a touring schedule.  Seattle was one stop he made.  He has his own 767-200 that is operated by Cargojet for him.  It is painted in a distinctive sky-blue livery.  It came into Boeing Field for the duration of his stay in the city.  Sadly, his schedule means he finishes a show and jumps on the plane to fly to the next location overnight.  That meant it arrive some time after midnight and departed at an inconvenient time too.  I only got it while parked and the light was not great either.  Still…

Cargojet Pairing

Freighter use is the great second chance for older airliners.  It is also a nice source of something different with the number of airlines shrinking as mergers and bankruptcies take their toll.  Cargojet is a Canadian freight operator that has a contract moving mail for Canada Post.  When I was at Vancouver, there were a couple of Cargojet aircraft on the ramp across from where we were.  One was a 767 and the other was a 757.  They were being loaded when I arrived and, as the evening light drew in, the first jet taxied.

It was getting pretty dark by the time they got airborne.  However, I was not complaining since I was able to get another airline in operation that I had not seen before.
