The largest Air Canada has at the moment. C-FKAU is a Boeing 777-300ER that was less than a year and half old when we photographed the aircraft while plane spotting at Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) on July 20, 2017. We used this aircraft as an example of the amazing multi-tasking abilities a simple hot shoe adapter can provide your photography. See that article here: hot shoe adapter.
