Low flying jet in Canada! What is going on?
I was sitting here about 30 minutes ago reading through the topics on GLP and I heard this awful noise of a plane approaching. It scared the crap out of me as I have never heard anything flying this low and close before. I ran out to see some type of military jet flying very low overhead. It circled around several times. By the time I got the video camera it made one final pass over the neighbors house. I have lived here (Leamington, Ontario, Canada) for 3 years and have never seen this before....ever! What is going on? Is this normal and, if so, why have they never flown here before? Just looking for some answers. This thing scared me to the point that I thought it was going to crash into our house.



The voice you hear is my roommate talking on the phone to the neighbor whose house this jet flew directly over.

I thought about that too...some sort of drill. But there has literally never been anything like this around here. It is just plain odd.

The last time I saw a jet flying that low in a residential area is when it had mechanical failures and the pilot ejected, the jet crashed into a home

Yikes....I thought that at first. It was flying back and forth and wobbling it's wings. My immediate thought was someone has hijacked a plane because it didn't look like the pilot knew what he was doing. It made a couple of passes and then it was gone.

I agree probably saying hello to someone I saw that happen here before a couple times. Back a long time ago Mr. Lappo would fly his bomber over his relatives house. Then got caught flying under the Mackinaw Bridge.

If this is real that would explain why it was so low. This is the first time I have ever experienced anything like this.

yep have that constantly here in Pensacola. Blue Angels are out daily when not out for shows.
Nothing worse then having 5 Blue Angel F-18s come up behind you just as you're driving over train tracks. I thought I was a dead man... Instant Bowel reliever.

Per a user comment on my YouTube video:

"Aircraft was Canadian Armed Forces CF-18B 188939 - was doing touch and goes on runway 26 at Pearson and then departed to the East at 14:53.

There was also a Canadian Armed Forces CC-150 15003 Airbus A310 that departed Pearson to Norfolk."


So the question of what it was is answered. But why would they fly like that in an area they have never flown before? Is it to strike fear into the hearts of the populace? Or was something else going on?

Exactly...they're training to invade Canada...don't worry about it. It's not like you'll need to learn a new language when you'll be annexed by the US.

It flew over the city airport runway at pretty low height. But I think the runway is too short for its landing.
