The helos themselves would most likley have to be from 4 Wing Cold Lake.

I would like to see these helos. Where are they flying? Downtown?
Does the excercise really have to be about reserve forces, or about Calgary based units?

I doubt its an excercise unless its come kind of civil emergency excercise which would be nice timing considering that the Stampede started today.

Did the Army leave one of the copters at the grounds for display purposes?
