Who's plane is this? Military??

Post by SnowbirdsFanatic » Fri May 11, 2018 12:20 pm

Saw this last night around 8:30pm coming into YVR from the east. It appears to be an AIR CANADA commercial aircraft being tailed closely by a military looking plane but defs not a CF-18 Hornet. Any ideas?

That's a Learjet, almost certainly doing some air to air filming. Check out Wolfe Air I think it is.

Nice catch!

Sweet! Thanks for the response Ryan! Maybe they're getting ready to place ads in light of the impending Westjet strike.

This popped up in my Facebook feed today!

No words can explain these past few days. Being able to combine my two biggest passions and work alongside the best in the business was like nothing else. Experiencing this Learjet flown by Kevin LaRosa II & Rob Scratch Mitchell around The Boeing Company’s 737 MAX 8 was breathtaking. Can’t wait to show you the video we’re producing for Air Canada. — in Tofino, British Columbia.
