Anyone know what the deal is? Training? Why is it here? Where did it come from? What's with the weird little short flight?

Most likely just training. They go on trips to keep up their proficiencies on different airports. When they fly the same airfield everyday it's good to get away and remember how to navigate into a circuit, use your charts, flight plan etc.
I don't think they are working on F18's at Kelowna Flightcraft anymore but they did some upgrades there years back, and you would see some test flights.
