I didn't know this was happening, or I may have driven out

A group of soldiers are to parachute out of a Second World War-era plane over Alberta on Thursday to commemorate the exploits of Canadian airborne troops on D-Day.
On June 6, 1944, the 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion was part of a division that dropped behind German lines to support the landings of Allied forces on the beaches of Normandy, France.
To mark their service, 16 soldiers of the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry plan to make a low-altitude jump from an old DC-3 transport plane into the freezing waters of Abraham Lake, near Banff National Park.

Capt. Christine Salt said with mountains nearby, the lake is the safest drop zone for the troops, who will be wearing wetsuits.
A group of veterans, including some former paratroopers, are to watch the drop from near a mountain named in honour of the battalion. The mountain is called Ex Coelis, which is Latin for "Out of the Clouds."
"This jump is in a remote area but it will still give people a chance to kind of connect to something that happened far away and a long time ago," Salt said. "It gives them something visible, something they can hear."
