	With the arrival of spring, now is the perfect time to go plane-spotting at YVR's Flight Path Park. It's an ideal spot for plane spotters of all ages to gather and watch airplanes take off and land and YVR. The park features picnic tables, small planes and miniature mock runways for children to "fly," and the best up-close views of aircraft in flight. Flight Path Park is located on Russ Baker Way and Airport Road, just south of Burkeville.
