VIDEO TLDR AND UPDATES

In this video, enjoy some super close-up arrival shots with a balanced mix of heavy jets and narrow bodies.

It's that time of year where YVR is experiencing low visibility operations. The thick fog that blanketed the city of Vancouver on the day this video was filmed quickly lifted around late morning, raising the visibility from 1/8th of a mile to 5 miles. However, mist still moved across the airfield providing some challenging filming conditions with the constantly changing lighting.

As for some updates moving through the month of January:
• United Airlines restarted their YVR-ORD route as UA1534 (seen in the video) after a short break over the holiday period
• Hong Kong airlines has confirmed their resumption of pre-Covid service to YVR on January 18th – stay tuned for an upcoming video!
• Despite the dire situation down in Southern California, I have confirmed my spotting trip to LAX for the 28-31st of January. My support goes out to anyone there currently affected by the fires.

The Story of YVRgopher
YVRgopher originally started as a school math project in May, 2020. Over the course of the pandemic, plane spotting has become a passion and a hobby of mine. Each video I make is filmed and edited with excitement as well as dedication. My goal is to create a video that connects me with people who are like me and who have the same passion as I do.

With each video, I am putting more time and effort into video quality, sound engineering, colour grading, title design, and more so that all my wonderful viewers can experience the hype and overall wonder that aviation brings into the world. If you like my content, I would strongly recommend you subscribe (using the link above) so that you never miss a video!

Thank you all for your kind words of support and appreciation! Enjoy the video :)
