Jet Fighters Over Vancouver Woke My Baby

It was my turn to look after the baby today. I had to get him to have his all-important midday nap. Things were going great - I was walking along the street with him strapped in, snoozing away, when suddenly this pair of fighter jets flew over our heads trailing their sonic boom. Well, that was it. The eyes immediately opened and the nap was over.

It's highly unusual to have fighters flying so close to the city. My guess is that this was the VANOC's ISU putting our hard-earned tax dollars to use, although you wont find any mention of training missions on the ISU site.

Back in May, when the Canadian Air Force sent CF-18 fighters above Vancouver on a training flight, it created a minor buzz in the local newspapers.
