I was at the game. They flew over the stadium twice. I had 2 thoughts - "Geeez, what is this USA?" and "Damn, there go my taxes". :)

they do it in Quebec for big Rouge et Or games
I find it weird that you guys are that surprised

Jets are awesome :yo:


This is just plain stupid... Let the american do it but not in Canada.
its actually really cool

Yeah, using a sports event to promote the military. Way to go. :shakehead

And then people say sports and politics should never mix. News flash, they've been mixed since the antiquity.

As the well-known philosopher Archibald Bunker once said, "Geezis Meathead, don't you know the National Anthem is supposed to be reserved for patriotic occasions, like ballgames and stuff?"

We have fighter jets in Saguenay and somewhere in central Alberta. And yet Winnipeg are called the Jets.

Maybe the original owner of the Jets was a NY Jets fan?

When the Jets came back the new owners wanted a new name for the team but the fans wanted no part in it.

Look what this hipster said to the Montreal Gazette:

“This is so irresponsible,” said Jeanne Schoenwandt, who heard the deafening noise as she was cleaning her home. “People don’t associate this with football and with everything going on in the Middle East, it is inappropriate. She said several of her neighbours came outside of their homes to find out what was going on.

Why don't you stick to your little Bixi Bike Jeanne, and leave the real men stuff to everyone else. She's definitely got pit hair. I wish I lived DT to see it, it's not everyday we get to see military stuff in the city.

haha who cares about the military ... why do we have one again?

(note despite flag <<< I am Canadian)

A thought to ponder.

What if the military suddenly didnt give a care about you? Remember, they are men and women who volunteer to fight and die for the citizens of their country if the need arises.

And they will even sacrifice their life for the ungrateful citizens of their country, like you for example.

Are you serious? You know the real world doesn't always play out like a game of Call of Duty, you'll see there's bad **** going on once you graduate high school. You do know we are part of NATO, and NORAD. It's not like we have hundreds or thousands of them.

Uh huh, that's great, NATO and NORAD. Who's coming to get us though? Is China about to go rogue and send their squadrons against us? Or is a terrorist gonna hijack an F-16 and challenge the RCAF to a dogfight, fair and square? Which is it? :laugh:

To bomb ISIS, or the Islamic State, or whatever they call themselves now? To protect ourselves from Russia that has repeatedly violated our airspace? To escort passenger jets back home after people get into arguments about reclining seats? So that we are prepared to bomb peace loving people around the world? Pick one, or more.
