Wow, great story and project!

This brings home the impact and value of photography. Reading, "...95% drop in air travel" has nowhere near the impact of seeing just one of these photos. In Vietnam, I saw dozens of transfer cases (caskets) each morning, waiting for the final flight home. That visual was so much more powerful than just reading, "... 219 WIA and 37 KIA" but I couldn't bring myself to take photos.

Cool story, fantastic shots...

For the record, Air Canada's secondary brand is Rouge as opposed to Rogue... (Rouge being french for Red)

I'm one of the "lucky few" airline employees; our planes are still flying as we do many federal contracts. We are one of the airlines that brought back stranded travelers from overseas; but I'm still working from home except for one day a week. Many of us are very worried that the push to "re-open" will just make the pandemic worse and make the layoffs permanent. I drive by these grounded planes every day; I recognize some of the pictures from a drive-by perspective.

As a former ramp worker I can really appreciate the precision driving to pack all those planes onto those taxiways so tightly.

I think this "story" was sufficiently conveyed by a single photo as representing the subject -- a bunch of planes parked in alignment on the ground, affording the photographer to make images with symmetry and pattern, where skill was needed to shoot from a flying helicopter. This photographer put in some effort in hiring a helicopter. But I'm not sure these phtotos are the work of an "artist" and "storyteller", as he labels himself simply by being a photographer. I did enjoy two or three photos, but most of the set are redundant and boring after that. Anyway, it was a good idea, even though belabored (and costly).

What great photos. Really brings home the serious impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Beautiful sight

The photos are beautiful and sad.

I notice that over the course of 2 weeks you hung out in close proximity (cars, helicopters) with your Uncle Mike, your brother, your friend Hilary, your friend Ben, Mom, and a bunch of helicopter pilots. If he had not fallen ill, the list would include friend Ryan as well.

Lucky you. I haven't been in such proximity to a single person outside my household since early March.

Great storytelling - visually and in word! Very much enjoyed this piece. Quite the sight.

It's difficult to adjust to this new reality, but it would be good if this huge stop in air travel becomes normal. It was unsustainable for a healthy environment to wantonly fly all over the world. These aircraft create an immense amount of air pollution and continuing that trend for the sake of jobs and convenience was immoral. Hopefully the loss of jobs in so many industries sparks a demand in how the government works and have it cater to helping the majority rather than rich oligarchs and companies.

A story the media is not covering, because of hidden agendas. Well done. Ironically the upper atmosphere pollution has decreases dramatically. Its colder at nightime than the last twenty years in NE. USA.

Awesome images. The take away is that based on the precision lineup of the jets, these companies are still run by engineers. That's a good thing.

Honestly, the engineers are the big reason we need to try and keep the airlines from actually going out of business. Even with 20+ years of IS experience, my work as an IS employee at an airline is a constant learning experience. If we want to recover economically, and get the planes back in the sky someday, these jobs must be preserved. They are incredibly complex with deep "institutional knowledge" that you can't learn in a school.
