When I was a kid, I lived under the approach of rwy 28 at YUL and was a plane nut even then. At that time, CP was still flying the odd DC-6 into Montreal, and Nordair was doing contract flying up north with second hand Connies, C-46s and DC-3s. That CL215 brought back many fond memories. But I've never flown aboard an aircraft with big round engines...sadly.
