No injuries, both people walked away

Just saw photos. Glad to hear no one was injured.

Classic pilot, still couldn't hit the fairway

Looks like he could have used something with more loft.

At least he got out of the bunker

Now it's an unplayable lie, though.

This is why commercial pilots need call signs too.

His would be Divot

What time do folks estimate the jets would fly over for the Labour Day Classic? Game time is 4:00pm.

[speede5]

During the anthem? So 3:55ish

[Titan2]

Ok. Sorry, these are from a game apparently. Still neat visuals.

[Fuzz]

That'd be fake.

Labor turmoil with United airlines is at a boiling point at the moment.

This will for sure be used as a benchmark for Air Canada who's pilots are at this point now and the Air Canada flight attendants are coming to this point in 2025.

'The 99.99 percent yes vote is a clear reminder that we are unified in the fight against corporate greed and ready to fight for our fair share of the profits we create.'

'Lot of folks don't know that flight attendants do not get paid for all the time they are on-duty. They only get paid for the flight time when door closes.'

United Airlines later said in a statement: 'To be clear, there is no work stoppage or labor disruption. Off-duty flight attendants are exercising their right to conduct an informational picket.

CF-18 Flyover

[calgarygeologist]

Got a double flyover of the jets at my house. We went under the flight path in Varsity and see them every year but this year we must have turned back after going over the stadium and flew over the house on the return trip. I don't remember them doing this before.

Planes should be more like cats that have whiskers to tell them how wide their body is. "Nope, can't fit through that hole." Abort!
