A Royal Canadian Air Force CC-177 Globemaster III transport plane will be gracing the sky above Prince George for four days starting today.
The aircraft will be in the city to conduct training in cross-country flying.
"Cross country flying is a type of long distance training to perform low approaches, landing and takeoffs at airport and is essential for maintaining the skills of aircrew so they are ready to safely execute Canadian Armed Forces missions around the world; often under challenging conditions," RCAF said in a statement.
"It is important that these proficiencies are maintained in Canada so our aircrew are prepared to execute these manoeuvres in potentially life-threatening situations. All efforts will be made to minimize disruption to the community."
The plane is from 429 Transport Squadron, based out of 8 Wing Trenton.
"Some RCAF aircraft are larger than many passenger airplanes and may appear to be flying lower than they actually are. RCAF aircrew adhere to strict rules and regulations at all times to ensure safety," RCAF also said.
