USAF F-22's with their tanker, probably heading to Alaska (Elmendorf AFB has a squadron of the F-22's).
Bookermorgan on SSP/twitter got a few pics:
Funny thing is, I'm kind of in this picture! I just wish I was looking outside at that point!

This is the second time I'm aware of that a flight of F-22's and their tanker have come over YYC, here is a photo from the other overflight:

You and me both! Heck if I had some heads up I could have grabbed my 300mm lens and got some closer shots than what Morgan was able to grab. He took those just outside the Sunterra at Keynote.

Most likely KC-10 cruise speed, so ~700 km/h. They were over Calgary just before 1pm.

Wish I would have seen it.
While in Seoul, I saw about 10 sets of 4 or 5 fighters flying in formation (about 30 seconds apart). Awesome sight but pretty freaky considering the unpredictable neighbors to the north.

Back when I was living in Shanghai I noticed fighter jets regularly flying over the part of the city I was in. After I starter paying attention I noticed that on a daily basis I would see two fighter jets fly over every 3 hours or so.
