The “Vancouver Harbout Flight Centre” (CXH/CYHC) is the city’s biggest water airport and handles some interesting seaplanes and airlines. You can also visit the nearby Heliport, not far from the Cruise Ship Dock, to get some nice helicopter pics.

Promenade | |
---|---|
WHERE | You can easily shot from the waterpromenade as it’s higher than the normal sea level and the harbour airport itsself, so you can see the aircraft on the water well. Just search your favourite position along the front. |
WHAT | Good for all airport activities. |
TIME | The light is normally good almost all day. In the early morning or late evening you might have slight backlit or at least worser light. Due to the different positions an water airplane can be in, you might also have backlit during the day sometimes. |
MISC. | Everything you need is nearby along the promenade such as restaurants, toilets or shadow. |
FOCAL LENGTH | 100-500mm Dash front shot: ~300mm / Dash back shot: ~450mm |
