An 8 Wing CFB Trenton aircraft will be conducting a flyby in the Nation’s Capital this weekend.
The RCAF CC-130J Hercules will be sailing the skies over the National Peacekeepers’ Day ceremony at the National Peacekeeping Monument in Ottawa around 11 a.m. on Sunday.
The aircraft will fly over the ceremony at an altitude no lower than 500 feet above the highest obstacle along its route.
Flybys by RCAF aircraft are carefully planned and closely controlled for public safety and are dependent upon weather and flying conditions.
The CC-130J Hercules is a four-engine, fixed-wing turboprop aircraft that is used for a wide range of missions, including personnel transport, search –and rescue, tactical airlift and aircrew training.
