RCAF plane to fly over Thursday’s Bomber game
A Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) plane is set to fly over IG Field on Thursday.
In a news release, the RCAF said a CT-142 from the 402 Squadron of 17 Wing Winnipeg will be conducting the flyby for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers’ Canadian Armed Forces Appreciation Game.
The first flyby will take place at 7:33 p.m. at the end of the national anthem, with the second flyby taking place at 7:38 p.m. just before kickoff.
The plane will fly over IG Field at an altitude no lower than 500 feet above the highest obstacle of the route.
The RCAF notes that flybys are carefully controlled for public safety, and dependent on weather and flying conditions.
