People across the country have been loving the displays, many saying the sightings are creating happy memories during these dark times.
Thank you @CFSnowbirds, that was incredible. Right over my house! Pardon my gasping but I have a deep love/fascination for airplanes. As in, why didn’t I become a pilot?!? pic.twitter.com/mwZQa16BiI

The tour started off in Nova Scotia and has since flown over cities like Toronto, Edmonton, Red Deer and Kamloops.
Thank you Snowbirds for honoring essential workers and Canada today. All the Staff at AMH at the St. Albert office felt very moved by your display of skill and solidarity. We thank you.

The fly overs seem to be giving a much-needed boost of morale to healthcare workers and other frontline heroes, and really that makes it all worth it.

When it comes to the Internet lately, if it's not coronavirus updates it's murder hornets, so it's refreshing to see an uplifting trend dominating Canadian feeds.
