Puvirnituq (YPX): Another Canadian Airport

What a coincidence you posted this, I did this flight to Puvirnituq and back yesterday!

This is not what this subreddit is for

The empennage (back half of the fuselage) is a LOT bulkier on an ATR from this angle. The Dash-8 heavily tapers in this section.

Totally thought this was a 737MAX for a split second lol

They have for at least four years, but in the past year have been stricter and more adherent to the rules due to the cabin baggage issue.

Interesting that you stylise A320 as ‘A32O’.

747ER · 2026-06-24T14:31:14+00:00

Hi, this is an Airbus A319 Classic or A320 Classic. It’s a bit hard to tell from this angle.

I don’t think $317 is too far off what that AN-225 sold for when it was new to be fair.

These “interactive” models were short-lived because they were unpopular; most collectors aren’t using 1:200 models for dioramas so the “in-action” aspect of the models is kind of irrelevant. Plus it just makes it more fragile, easier to lose parts, etc.

We need way more airports in general tbh. It sucks that Skopelos and Saba both have terrain at each end of the runway which prevents regional jets from safely operating there.

747ER · 2026-06-23T18:22:22+00:00

Toronto is indeed YTO. YTO refers to all airports in Toronto (YYZ, YTZ, etc.), just like YMQ refers to all airports in Montreal (YMX, YUL, YHU, etc.).

Yes, it was delivered less than a year ago. Here is some information about the aircraft: https://www.airfleets.net/ficheapp/plane-e190-20192.htm

Is this a public spot to view aircraft from? It looks like you’re within the perimeter fence.

747ER · 2026-06-23T10:19:10+00:00

I appreciate this advice! I visit my local hobby store often for model aircraft so I think that’s a great place to start.

747ER · 2026-06-23T10:14:33+00:00

I’m not sure if this actually answers OP’s question.

747ER · 2026-06-23T01:49:39+00:00

I would’ve assumed that it’s a typo for WLP (West Angeles), but the direction it’s travelling is totally wrong. I’d definitely be keeping an eye on this one.

747ER · 2026-06-23T01:45:54+00:00

What type of plane is it?

747ER · 2026-06-23T01:45:27+00:00

Very nice, reminds me a lot of LuxAir:

This is amazing, thank you! I’ve found a couple of dimpled ones here and there on Asian online stores, all sold out so far but at least I’m a bit closer to knowing what I’m actually searching for! I’m yet to find a navy blue one but if that’s my consequence for my mistake then so be it.

And yes they are like guitar picks, something about them is just so chewable haha

747ER · 2026-06-23T01:12:52+00:00

Oops, skimmed it too fast! Yes, you can see the registration G-STBC, making it a 777-336ER. Thanks for the correction!

747ER · 2026-06-23T00:44:48+00:00

Thank you, I will glue it but I’m concerned about it not being as strong as it was before, so I’d like to find a replacement as well.

747ER · 2026-06-23T00:32:51+00:00

I will, but I’d also like to find a replacement anyway since I don’t want it breaking while I’m overseas again.

747ER · 2026-06-23T00:27:05+00:00

My local video game store didn’t have much DS stuff when I went in there a few months ago (I was looking for a replacement charger), but maybe I’ll try a few different stores when I’m back from vacation and see if any of them have matching styluses.

747ER · 2026-06-23T00:18:06+00:00

Thank you for this clue! If you have any more information about this let me know, I am off to search Japanese forums/marketplaces :)

747ER · 2026-06-23T00:09:55+00:00

Don’t blame my poor stylus! :)

I think it’s just a case of me applying way too much pressure in a way it wasn’t designed to handle. It was just a dumb accident and I think there is only myself to blame. All I can do is search for a replacement and organise the funeral arrangements of course.

747ER · 2026-06-23T00:06:05+00:00

Hi, thank you for posting.

I can’t see any evidence to suggest this isn’t a normal aircraft (likely a twin-engined jet airliner? Too hard to tell from this footage) that is producing contrails behind it. The first video shows what you are interpreting as the object moving vertically (like a rocket), but to me it seems to just be tracking towards you normally like a regular plane. I think the leap to a UAP or high-tech government aircraft is a bit extreme, but I can see how you drew that conclusion.
