Cold lake to Comox via Tofino

Post by jakeandelwood »

Maybe this guy was lost or just having fun at the taxpayers expense but that speed at that altitude and not a word on the radio? And the military thinks they get smarter pilots with their university degree prerequisite?

He was probably too busy looking at his parent's (or girlfriend's) house to tune the radio.

Clearly, a pilot with a grade 3 education would not do this.

It's happened before.

Many years ago a CF-18 driver put on an little airshow over North Vancouver - and reportedly, his mother's house - while on his way to Comox. I recall he was given a backseat ride back to Cold Lake.
