Calgary v22 osprey's

[phaxtris]

Any of the Calgary members spot the pair of v22 osprey's flying formation this evening ? They just flew over the house at 1000ft ish

I wonder if we'll be seeing any other cool aircraft over the weekend while the g whatever summit is on

As an Air Force brat I think Ospreys are very cool! Wouldn’t fly in one, but cool. Even the Blackhawk that now flies over my house to take a look see at the border daily is cool and has a much more energetic growl/flap sound than the 407’s I’m accustomed to.

Will there be a nice chinook blowing to welcome Trump with a smooth-ish ride into K-country?

The wife saw them fly over as well. What the heck would the G7 need those for? US obviously.

Rumor has it that Trump is flying back forth to Montana, however, shortly after I saw them I texted everyone I knew (obviously!), and a buddy who happened to be at yyc spotted the two of them landing there, so I'm unsure, I would assume they would fly direct to wherever ...... Unless air force 1 is at yyc ????

We are out of chinook season, but there was some weather this evening, it would been a bumpy ride no doubt

Thanks, didn’t know there is a season for chinooks. Must read up.

Wife also said she heard and felt a very large aircraft fly over but didn't see it.

Yea, louder and a much lower tone than a helicopter

That was before she spotted the Osprey's

Yea, that's how I spotted them, the sound, not that I know what they sound like, but it was unusual to the heli's I normally hear buzzing around

There were two flights of two. One pair came eastbound along Glenore Trail and turned left base over our house to land on runway 29. The second pair flew along 22x and turned in over Langdon / Chestermere, also landing on runway 29.
