RCAF Sets Out Remembrance Day Flypasts: CF-18s Over the National War Memorial, With Dozens of Communities Taking Part
Winnipeg, Canada — National Defence and the Canadian Armed Forces said on November 10 that the Royal Canadian Air Force will conduct flypasts for several Remembrance Day commemorations across Canada on November 11. The flypasts will be carried out by aircraft from Royal Canadian Air Force Wings throughout Canada at various times during the day.
Capital and regional arrangements
In the National Capital Region, CF-18 Hornets will conduct a flypast over the ceremony at the National War Memorial, the department said.
The published list also includes a CC-177 Globemaster over Calgary, Alberta, a CH-146 Griffon over Edmonton, a CP-140 Aurora over Vancouver, British Columbia, a CC-130J Hercules over Toronto, Ontario, and CH-146 Griffons over Montreal and Quebec City in Quebec. The full list covers dozens of communities in Alberta, British Columbia, New Brunswick, the Northwest Territories, Nova Scotia, Ontario and Quebec.
Safety note
The department said the aircraft will fly over the events at an altitude no lower than 500 feet above the highest obstacle on their routes.
It said flypasts by Royal Canadian Air Force aircraft are carefully planned and closely controlled for public safety, and are dependent upon weather, flying conditions and operational requirements.
