The bouncers

[Michaelaw]

Our little party needs them apparently Out by the airport again today when these guys flew over my head possibly to refuel and change crews. I have seen about twenty of them today mostly patrolling at ten thousand feet or so. Just managed to squeek them through the trees

When I used to be an air traffic controller these guys always had a trick of claiming BINGO for fuel. This means we had to give them priority for landing or send out the crash crew, of course this is a none emergency procedure so no paperwork has to be filled out.

A couple of FA 18 Hornets by the looks of them. Love the contrails! Nice shot M!

The are indeed Hornets, part of our protection from cave dwellers flying high tech equipment. When these things depart Vancouver international, the make way more racket than any domestic flight. Most people don't seem to notice but the patrol above Vancouver 24/7 right now. Went online to find out how many were up there and found this
