Tweet from ‏@kendy_ra

Pretty sure I just saw Amazing Race Canada teams at the #yyz airport. They denied it but I'm almost positive they were lying.

Another sighting on a flight to Calgary!

I love playing detective. On the same plane to Calgary from Toronto with the Amazing Race Canada cast #knewit #matchingoutfits #dufflebags

I'm wondering if she was on a flight earlier in the day since there were several Air Canada flights from Toronto to Calgary that would have arrived much earlier than this. There were several Westjet flights too, but I assume they are still flying Air Canada as much as possible this season. Perhaps they were provided flights to let the production staff to arrive and get set up, film intros, etc. before the teams show up.

There was also an interesting tweet about a sighting in Melbourne, Australia but I knew TAR Canada couldn't have gotten to Australia this fast!

The thing is...this is a huge time difference from that first sighting this morning, if real. Is it possible this is cast and crew traveling to the start line location? Calgary is often a connection for Vancouver. What was the tweet from Melbourne? Remember last year...the crew were spotted in Lunenberg several days in advance? And I think they went there right from Q.C. while the teams went to Nunavut.

The time difference bothers me too, but Kelsey may have been busy after getting back to Calgary and didn't tweet about it for several hours after she arrived with the teams. I've asked her for more details, but she hasn't responded yet.

I think it's very possible they could be connecting to somewhere else, but if they were going to Vancouver, I think they would probably take a direct flight from Toronto. There were several that arrived earlier than the tweet suggests. You may be right about the starting line not being in Toronto and this is a flight delivering them to the starting line. I hadn't thought of that.

Anyway, here's the tweet from Australia. It doesn't sound like production staff. I think it's likely a local race unless TAR Vietnam or one of the other TAR Asia versions is filming.

Spooner and Mikkelson were on the CDN Womens Olympic hockey team so they were very identifiable. There are more tweets coming in and I am trying to grab the pics too. So it was a Calgary start today?

@LeafsfanRFF no idea, but they all got in a shuttle bus together. #AmazingRaceCanada

[WindsorSue]

Just acting on a hunch and putting it out there...I thought where in Calgary could they have started from?  Apparently there was a spontaneous low level helicopter flight approved over The Calgary Olympic Park (Winter 1988).

Ward Sutherland ‏@Ward4Ward1 15h
FYI, City of Calgary approved for a low level helicopter fly over Canada Olympic Park on April 26 to promote film #yyc 7:00 AM - 26 Apr 2014

....apparently the weather was bad there

There was also this:

Brendan Henry ‏@Ladon
Just headed to the Calgary Olympic Park to get a tour, got rudely pushed into an elevator. Not welcome? Not open? @WinSportCanada

I will dig around some more.

[keidow]

Thanks for the credit. Meaghan asked me If I knew anything about Victoria... Just sayin'

I didn't, unfortunately

[georgiapeach]

Can you tell us more about the whole sighting? No detail is too small for THIS crew!!

to RFF!

@keidow so fun having them on our flight huh? Rex Harrington, famous from the Cdn dance community is also a contestant.

Lol, I think the Amazing Race Canada contestants are on the same flight, should I run off the plane too?

@LeafsfanRFF We believe the shuttle was taking them to route info/some destination in Vancouver - perhaps they were heading to hotel 4 night

Bonita Perko ‏@bonesnos  now
@LeafsfanRFF definitely 4 teams perhaps a 5th, but it was hard to tell if they were contestants or with the crew. @AmazingRaceCDA
