Most beach days involve little more than sitting under an umbrella trying to avoid being burned to a crisp by a certain nearby star. And maybe some snacks. And an occasional visit by a seagull.

Yesterday's, however, involved a bit of a surprise: a Royal Canadian Air Force CC-130 Hercules did a couple of passes along the Port Stanley Beach because...well, we're not really sure. But it made our day.
