French Air Force Airbus A330-200MRTT Arriving and Departing | Toronto Pearson Int’lHere is the first military aircraft to visit Toronto in 2020 and this one is a pretty cool delight! A French Air Force Airbus A330-200MRTT paying us a visit here for a couple of days. What was cool about this bird is it was the new grey livery they had painted on the aircraft and of course a nice sight to see the aerial refueling boom.

The aircraft was unconfirmed if it was coming to Toronto or now originally but still a few of us headed out and sure enough, we got the green light with the movement as it descended into Toronto landing on RWY 23 as FAF4101 from Istres-Le Tube Air Base. After arrival, the aircraft parked at VISTA Cargo to our surprise and was stationed there until Friday morning. She filed out to the same location as FAF4101 departing off RWY 06L. Enjoy the video!

Cheers,
