We had a few visitors fly overhead Saturday evening.The images were taken from our driveway (which was a challenge due to the trees, wires, houses and of course the speed of the low flying jets).
The Aircraft: The loud rumbling came from three CF-18 Hornets flying out of 4 Wing Cold Lake, Alberta, which led the formation alongside the Snowbirds’ CT-114 Tutor jets.
The Route: Residents across Saanich, Deep Cove, and North Saanich reported the jets circling overhead as they took off from the Abbotsford International Airshow and prepared for their approach downtown.
The Event: The military jets conducted a synchronized flyby at approximately 7:30 PM on Saturday, August 8th, marking the opening of David Foster’s star-studded, free outdoor concert.” (AI Overview)
