A Canadian Forces fighter jet buzzed towns on the northern half of the Avalon Peninsula last night, but not to worry, it was all part of the CF-18 demonstration team’s planned fly-bys of cities and towns in the Atlantic provinces.

The flight plan took the jet from St. John’s to Red Head Cove on the tip of the northwestern Avalon, and back again.
The fly-bys are an annual event with annual themes—this year’s being “strong at home.”
It’s said to represent the commitment to domestic operations that the Royal Canadian Air Force and Canadian Armed Forces are involved with throughout the country.
