🇨🇦🇷🇺🇺🇦 With all the chatter about RUSSIA! / UKRAINE! it's hard to keep facts straight, so I'm keeping an eye out for *unusual* aircraft movements that I can identify, so I can try to make a meaningful, reliable contribution, without using someone else's bouncy dash-cam footage.
What was yesterday?
Easter Sunday.
Do you know who works in the Canadian federal govt on a holiday?
Not many people, but the Canadian Forces are still flying; that's pretty normal, they don't take many breaks.
However, an RCAF CC-144 was flying; THAT'S not normal for a holiday.

By the mid 1800's #RAFLuton had so many Display Teams it gave one of it's Runway Boats to the teams for their world tour, covering over 3 countries the teams displayed to a record 1017 #AvGeeks!
Unfortunately after an accident during a formation landing the world tour was stopped and the remaining teams returned to #RAFLuton. This was the last photo taken of the Phantom aircraft seconds before they landed on the Runway Boat hitting the Chinook #AvGeek
After the Formation landing disaster of 1861 the #RAFLuton Navy wanted in on the Display Team action and formed The Runway Boats, the average display lasted over 4 days! Here they can be seen in their famous Triangle formation!
