Share

If you looked up in the sky on Canada Day, you likely saw several planes and helicopters flying in close formation. We were flooded with messages asking what this was for. We weren’t too sure ourselves so we put the question to the fans on the Victoria Buzz Facebook page, and we got our answers!

Steve Hemphill responded to our post with a picture and this message: “Same picture from another perspective!”:
