The Canadian Forces Snowbirds will take to the sky over the National Capital Region in an attempt to lift spirits Thursday afternoon. The aerobatics team is on its national "Operation Inspiration" tour of the country as Canadians enter their third month of distancing and isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic. Today's local flight plan brings the CT-114 Tutor planes from the Montreal area at 4:15 p.m. to Cornwall, Ont., by about 4:30 p.m. They'll then head northwest over communities including Russell, St-Albert and Chesterville, Ont., before circling Ottawa-Gatineau and landing around 5:15 p.m. The Snowbirds are expecting in eastern Ontario the afternoon of May 7, 2020.
