They flew over #LdnONT yesterday as part of #OpInspiration, a cross-country tour to raise Canadians' spirits and honour our frontline workers. Along the way, they've been specifically overflying hospitals to show support for the medical professionals risking their lives to save others.
Which explains how our daughter and I found ourselves in a nearby parking lot waiting for the 9 jets to fly overhead in formation.
I always get chills when I see them fly. They do, after all, represent the best of Canada, and serve as icons for what makes this country so unique relative all others.
Yet this time the chills were more profound. Because this wasn't simply about wowing a crowd at an airport. It was about leveraging a precious national asset at a time when the nation really needed it.
Everything just seems to mean more when you know some of the people who don PPE and head into the jaws of the pandemic. So it feels like quite the privilege to live in a nation that understands and appreciates the sacrifice they now make.
Fly safe, Snowbirds as you continue your journey over other communities. And thank you for a moment we all needed.
