OK, before I forget again, yesterday I saw a C-17 take off from the far runway, 17L. Then about an hour late a Luftwaffe A400M landed right in front of me on 17R.
Today started off good, saw the A400M take-off from 17R but later in the day I heard this roar of engines which could only mean one thing --- fighter --- times two too. And I wasn't wrong because a short while later again I saw a pair of CF-18's buzzing downtown Calgary. Which isn't surprising because today is the start day of the 2018 edition of the Calgary Stampede (for ten days). Then a short while after that I saw the pair flying north just west of YYC which then followed by the pair buzzing YYC right down 17R then breaking sharply to the west, came around again and landed on 17R almost together. They were a pair of CF-188D's. And to top the day off, an RCAF CC-144C landed shortly after the CF-188's did. I had a ring side seat (in my vehicle) to the whole show too ---
CC-144C was just like this one (not my photo)

These are used to transport high-up dignitaries around, I'm wondering who came to Calgary ---
