@TheSnoopySnoop I usually see them while driving up near CYLS where they often stop over. I checked my photo library and I only have one shot of a C130. I'll have to make sure I have my camera with me more often!
π¨π¦ Canadian Coast Guard tests Arctic surveillance drone as air force delivery stalls
Military delays mean civilian service will get eyes on the Far North first
" The Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) has β for decades β been pursuing its own drone capability and has ordered 11 MQ-9B SkyGuardian remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPAS) from General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, but their delivery is delayed until 2028.
That means the coast guard gets the capability before the military."

The Canadian Coast Guard will deploy its new Hermes 900 Starliner drone for Arctic test flights this summer after a federal restructuring shifted surveillance assets to Department of National Defence. With MQ-9B SkyGuardian drones delayed until 2028, civilian operators gain an unexpected operational edge in the Far North.
It was a golden hour arrival for RCAF/ARC π¨π¦ CC-150 Polaris (Airbus A310-300 MRTT), reg.15004, landing at Belfast back on 07Feb25
Canada's First Jet Team: The Blue Devils
The 'Blue Devils' of 410 Squadron were Canada's first jet aerobatic team. Formed in 1949, they flew the de Havilland Vampire, the RCAF's first operational jet fighter, thrilling audiences with the speed of the new jet age. Active for only three seasons, they introduced high-speed precision jet formation flying in Canada. #Canada #RCAF #Aviation #History π¨π¦

The Red Knight: A Solo Spectacle
Not all of Canada's air displays were full teams. The Red Knight was a solo performer from 1958 to 1969. The pilot, always an experienced RCAF instructor, flew a T-33 Silver Star jet painted brilliant red. The Red Knight brought aerobatics to smaller towns and airshows that couldn't host a full formation team, becoming a unique and beloved part of Canada's aviation heritage. #Canada #RCAF #ColdWar #Aviation π¨π¦
The 'Alouette' Name: Bird & Bomber Squadron! π¦βοΈ
The Montreal Alouettes' name is a double tribute! 'Alouette' comes from a song about a 'skylark' in French, but it also honours the French-Canadian 425th 'Alouette' Squadron of the Royal Canadian Air Force from World War II. A powerful blend of nature and national history! #Canada #Alouettes #CFLHistory #RCAF
Big congratulations to Canadian air force officer Tristan Armstrong who - thanks to his prolific posting on white supremacist chat boards and dating websites - we now all know as someone whose ideal woman is "child like" and thinks that βthe moment a girl has her first period, she is at her peak marriagability." He's also got umm *interesting* views about rape and gay people! AND LADIES, HE'S SINGLE!

Tristan is the 125th white supremacist loser we've documented as also having an unsavoury interest in children - read our full list of far-right/fascist paedos here: https://antifainternational.tumblr.com/post/170045856829/our-updated-list-of-racists-bigots-far-right
