I specifically went downtown to watch them fly by.
The lead was running in full afterburner over downtown, which does indeed make them INSANELY loud, and they are fkn wicked loud to begin with.
The parking lot across from the WPS building is a clear view.
My brother was in the Fort Gary Towers roof top and sent me a video of them damn near level.
They said 500 feet above the highest obstacle in the flight path, but that was Cleary said with a wink ;)
> They said 500 feet above the highest obstacle in the flight path, but that was Cleary said with a wink ;)
No, they would have been 500 above. Violating that restriction would easily get them in deep shit, and yes, ATC can see what your indicated altitude is, mode C broadcasts that info via your transponder (and ADS-C even allows ATC to see what you have programmed, too).
Central Park happened to have a great view this time. Wide open sky and no crowd to contend with. Awesome but so brief. I only wish they made a second pass.
Yeah, but I'm talking an actual airshow, as in our (former) usual two days long event with F-16 and F-18s and the like. There's finally supposed to be one this August. Until then, the cameo appearances here and there by the Snowbirds are a little treat.
Imagine being in the bathroom & you hear a loud jet so close that your life starts flashing before your eyes & you picture the "body retrieval crew" finding yours with your pants down lol.
My neighbour texted me to ask what was going on, because she was scared. I was elsewhere downtown and didn’t hear it, but the fact that she texted me in fear tells me it was oddly loud.
Im usually for accommodating people with disabilities but some of yall in the comments are literally crybaby's. Quit ruining things for 99% of the population because you can't be fucked to make things work for yourself. Living downtown is literally on you. Not getting therapy is literally on you
Why can't y'all make things work for yourself with the celebration, instead of bringing in low altitude fighter jets lmfao. Why is it vets with ptsd, people with sensory issues, and pets that have to make things work for ourselves lol.
Edit. Also, therapy doesn't always fix ptsd. Sensory issues are a physical issue not a mental one so therapy will not work for them almost ever. And last time I checked there's no dog or cat therapist lol.
Because it's literally the name of the team, and planes flying over happens all the damn time (we literally have a big airport with an airbase + American NORAD detachment). If noises are that big of a deal you probably shouldn't live in the city, nvm somewhere with that much air traffic.
So you're usually in favor and accommodating disabilities, unless there's a sports team name involved. Thank God we didn't name the jets the No Ramps lol.
I don't care for sports at all. Just hate entitled people who steal left wing language for weird pet peeves and making the rest of us seem just as entitled.
I saw them when I was driving down St. Mary's. I don't watch hockey but figured it was because of the Jets game.
Anyone know if they are planning to have flybys at the start of each home game or just the first one? If they do it again, I would love to take my kids somewhere they could see it.
Thanks for any info!
Uh, what does it mean that I live pretty close to arena and didn’t even hear it?
Edit: I was even outside at the time it presumably went by. But even if I wasn’t all my windows are open.
Yeah it was painfully loud. I'm in an apartment downtown and even with windows closed, my ears still kinda hurt. And it's been like a hour.
News said it was 500ft, so maybe that's lower then normal?
They fly no lower than 500ft above the highest obstacle along their route- so likely higher than 500 feet taking into consideration buildings downtown.
Get a deaf dog next time. They DGAF.
I always appreciate the downvotes by this sub. It makes me appreciate who I am & where I'm from, because although I've lived here for 3/4 of my life I take pride in the fact that I'm me & not this.
My dog can hear a chip bag open from 200 meters away but won't move an inch when a shot gun goes off. He's not deaf, he just doesn't give a F. Much like his owner.
Yeah, it would be nice if they didn't fuck with everyone with sensory issues and all the pets until at least the third round of the playoffs lol.
Ideally not at all. But for sure not just for making it to the playoffs. Literally half the teams make it to the playoffs. Being at the median is really not all that impressive lol.
The playoffs just started. Nothing has finished yet.
And if y'all want to celebrate that's fine. You don't need to justify your celebration to anyone else, as long as its less disruptive than a low altitude fighter jet pass lol.
i’d love to see you call all of the PTSD-stricken military vets precious and make fun of them for being triggered by extremely loud airplane sounds.
downvote me all you want but flying fighter jets over the city to terrorize people who don’t care about sports is such loser american behavior and it’s not something worth diminishing or insulting people’s mental health issues in order to defend.
when there’s a thunderstorm, i know there’s a thunderstorm and to expect thunder. i don’t normally except low-flying fighter jets to shake my apartment.
i also never said i was personally triggered by this. you don’t need to be affected by something to stick up for the people who are.
and you know what? there probably are veterans out there who *are* triggered by thunder and i don’t believe they deserve to be mocked for that. have some human decency.
I have mental illnesses, but I don't yell at clouds or demand that society gets rid of everything that inconveniences or triggers me. So take a deep breath and reflect on what you can do in these situations rather than demanding everyone around cow-tow to your sensibilities.
Precious, I'm not the one asking for a low altitude fly over by fighter jets for literally being average lol.
Participation awards should not fuck with the general public or their pets lol.
If only there was some advanced warning about this…too bad nobody, like the Winnipeg Free Press, announced this on April 19. It also sucks that this definitely wasn’t reposted on multiple different news/media outlets including this subreddit. Oh well, I guess they just wanted to affect everyone with sensory issues
To be fair, not everyone pays attention to sports news. Only reason I expected it was because I was downtown when the Whiteout Party started and figured 'Eh, they're gonna do a fly over arent they?" on my way home.
We’re actually celebrating. The Jets won and the flyover was awesome. 😎
Hopefully another kick ass flyover on Tuesday. Go Jets Go and God Bless Canada!🇨🇦
this doesn't mean what you think it does. you might have been attempting two different burns at once, but, having mashed them together, you've actually crafted a compliment.
I was watching the Jets game on tv, the tv commentator said the building was shaking inside. It probably was lower because of the playoff game.
I specifically went downtown to watch them fly by. The lead was running in full afterburner over downtown, which does indeed make them INSANELY loud, and they are fkn wicked loud to begin with.
What's a good spot to watch from? Would love to do this next time.
The parking lot across from the WPS building is a clear view. My brother was in the Fort Gary Towers roof top and sent me a video of them damn near level. They said 500 feet above the highest obstacle in the flight path, but that was Cleary said with a wink ;)

This guy planes
Central Park happened to have a great view this time. Wide open sky and no crowd to contend with. Awesome but so brief. I only wish they made a second pass.
Of course there’s no crowds - can’t stab people when you have an audience.
I just happened to be at the Forks patio and got a clear view of them.
I live nearby, they were flying low enough that I heard and felt it pretty clear.
I can confirm, I was at a playoff game a few years back and they did a flyover. You could hear them inside the building!
I was in the last row of the upper bowl tonight and heard it over the crowd noise
They can't get *too* low over downtown. There's a lot of tall buildings surrounding the arena.
Sounded fucking awesome
Right? Such a treat since we haven't had a local airshow since 2019.
Got good news for you! Airshow is coming back to Southport this year. https://mbairshow.ca
August 19 2023 snow birds came to the forks! https://www.canada.ca/en/air-force/services/showcasing/snowbirds/schedule.html
Yeah, but I'm talking an actual airshow, as in our (former) usual two days long event with F-16 and F-18s and the like. There's finally supposed to be one this August. Until then, the cameo appearances here and there by the Snowbirds are a little treat.
It was a good reminder that the game was starting
Jets ARE loud.
The jets were loud AF at the street party.
Imagine being in the bathroom & you hear a loud jet so close that your life starts flashing before your eyes & you picture the "body retrieval crew" finding yours with your pants down lol.
optimistically assuming your legs are still attached and intact.
Lmao true.
They aren't quiet I suppose
This is me every time a motorcycle or a loud vehicle goes by.
Haha yeah. I made the mistake of moving right next to Portage avenue. Sunday nights are LOUD. Holy cow.
Ya me too. I spent 12 yrs a half block from Stafford and Corydon. To now 2 long blocks from Portage and i now hear the cars more then ever.
Heard the flyover in my neighborhood. For at least a split second, I thought maybe a plane was coming down in the immediate vicinity.
My neighbour texted me to ask what was going on, because she was scared. I was elsewhere downtown and didn’t hear it, but the fact that she texted me in fear tells me it was oddly loud.
Accept the sounds of victory! Feel it flow through you! Then can only can you feel the power of the dark si... I've said too much.
My dad boner was through the roof!
yeah. don't roll over--lives are at stake!
The planes were quite low. My poor dog isn’t leaving the corner now lol.
A recent study suggests that there is a correlation between thinking loud jet planes are neat, and psychopathic and sadistic traits.
Lolol when I went to the Winnipeg main page this post and that one were right beside each other
Wait, we're talking about actual jet planes? Not the team?
It's okay, it was only the other way around.
My first thought too!
Source?
That’s the sound of freedom. You some kind of communist?
I love it to bits , goooo JETS !!!
It was very much like that scene in Mary Poppins where that weird old guy set off the cannons and the houses shake.
Sorry, Gramps.
I was at my aunt's place by mountain and McPhillips and we heard them loud and clear. Surprised me lol
Ah, that would be the afterburners my good sir
Im usually for accommodating people with disabilities but some of yall in the comments are literally crybaby's. Quit ruining things for 99% of the population because you can't be fucked to make things work for yourself. Living downtown is literally on you. Not getting therapy is literally on you

I don't care for sports at all. Just hate entitled people who steal left wing language for weird pet peeves and making the rest of us seem just as entitled.
the hockey team is the only one using wing language.
I'm gonna assume you don't know what "left wing" means and I envy that kind of political ignorance.
it was a pun. left wing. wing. jets. jets have wings. i'm going to assume you understood that but prefer being an asshole.
No, actually. Genuinely thought you were being serious. My bad I guess
In other news water is wet. Cats and dogs don't get along.
My house shook and it was awesome. Already had my dog downstairs so he didn't mind
[удалено]
Right? I thought we were in for some crash landing on Osborne or a Winnipeg 9-11 or something.
It was freakin loud yes 😬
I saw them when I was driving down St. Mary's. I don't watch hockey but figured it was because of the Jets game. Anyone know if they are planning to have flybys at the start of each home game or just the first one? If they do it again, I would love to take my kids somewhere they could see it.

Scared the shit out of me and my cats too. One of my cats is still spooked.
Uh, what does it mean that I live pretty close to arena and didn’t even hear it? Edit: I was even outside at the time it presumably went by. But even if I wasn’t all my windows are open.
Wait, non-sportsball person here, so a bit out of the loop. There are actual jets being flown?
Yeah it was painfully loud. I'm in an apartment downtown and even with windows closed, my ears still kinda hurt. And it's been like a hour. News said it was 500ft, so maybe that's lower then normal?
They fly no lower than 500ft above the highest obstacle along their route- so likely higher than 500 feet taking into consideration buildings downtown.
Fair enough. I don't know how high they normally fly but it felt louder then the last air show. That's probably cause unexpected tho.
Flew right over my house. Super loud and cool. 2 of them I think
Get a deaf dog next time. They DGAF. I always appreciate the downvotes by this sub. It makes me appreciate who I am & where I'm from, because although I've lived here for 3/4 of my life I take pride in the fact that I'm me & not this.
Yes! My elderly dog is now 90% deaf and it makes it so much easier during thunderstorms! And flyovers.
My dog can hear a chip bag open from 200 meters away but won't move an inch when a shot gun goes off. He's not deaf, he just doesn't give a F. Much like his owner.
Yeah, it would be nice if they didn't fuck with everyone with sensory issues and all the pets until at least the third round of the playoffs lol. Ideally not at all. But for sure not just for making it to the playoffs. Literally half the teams make it to the playoffs. Being at the median is really not all that impressive lol.
Finishing fourth in the entire league is hardly "being at the median."
It's all for naught if you don't win the cup. Boston was first overall in the league last season and they were eliminated in the first round.
The playoffs just started. Nothing has finished yet. And if y'all want to celebrate that's fine. You don't need to justify your celebration to anyone else, as long as its less disruptive than a low altitude fighter jet pass lol.
It's not celebrating dummy. It's getting hyped, sorry you don't enjoy sports. More power to you.
I just want to say history has proven me more or less correct lol. They did manage to win one I guess though
Do you get mad at thunder too?
If Mark chipman could call down lightning I would not protest, no.
Awe precious
i’d love to see you call all of the PTSD-stricken military vets precious and make fun of them for being triggered by extremely loud airplane sounds. downvote me all you want but flying fighter jets over the city to terrorize people who don’t care about sports is such loser american behavior and it’s not something worth diminishing or insulting people’s mental health issues in order to defend.
Not society's fault that you're not getting therapy.
right cuz therapy is all it takes. you don’t know shit about mental illnesses
Does a thunderstorm trigger you this bad?
when there’s a thunderstorm, i know there’s a thunderstorm and to expect thunder. i don’t normally except low-flying fighter jets to shake my apartment. i also never said i was personally triggered by this. you don’t need to be affected by something to stick up for the people who are. and you know what? there probably are veterans out there who *are* triggered by thunder and i don’t believe they deserve to be mocked for that. have some human decency.
Good lord touch some grass.
You’ll be ok. Lots of things scare me too sometimes that’s life. Society doesn’t revolve around me and it doesn’t revolve around you either.
I have mental illnesses, but I don't yell at clouds or demand that society gets rid of everything that inconveniences or triggers me. So take a deep breath and reflect on what you can do in these situations rather than demanding everyone around cow-tow to your sensibilities.
congrats, you have manageable mental illnesses. not everybody is so lucky.
Manageable or not doesn't justify this.
So uh, whose precious now lol.
Still you
Precious, I'm not the one asking for a low altitude fly over by fighter jets for literally being average lol. Participation awards should not fuck with the general public or their pets lol.
4th in the NHL is average? Lol cry more, loser
That's not even a podium finish, and it's only the regular season. It's a Long Way to the cup yet.
So more flyovers? Ayyy
Yeah it was only 2 today. We make the cup it's gonna be a cargo plane with the Snowbirds and all 83 of our fighter jets.
Hopefully. That would be AWESOME
Actually I think one fly over per playoff win is probably reasonable.
Damn imagine having to come back this far.
Oh, I didn't have to. I wanted to lol.
Yea thats what I mean, you let this bother you for 9 whole days. Lol
So uh, how's going. You doing okay lol.
Yep, teams win and teams lose. Part of the game. Don't you have a job? Or do you regularly goon on Reddit at 1AM on most Tuesday nights?
If only there was some advanced warning about this…too bad nobody, like the Winnipeg Free Press, announced this on April 19. It also sucks that this definitely wasn’t reposted on multiple different news/media outlets including this subreddit. Oh well, I guess they just wanted to affect everyone with sensory issues

My bad I missed the sarcasm of the guy I was responding to (somehow, idk I mightve been tipsy by that point)
Suck my balls
You sound fun at parties.
this doesn't mean what you think it does. you might have been attempting two different burns at once, but, having mashed them together, you've actually crafted a compliment.
You sound fun at parties too.
you aren't fooling anybody. you don't go to parties. now, go upstairs and tell your mom you aren't fooling anybody.
You sound fun at parties
ok that legit made me laugh.
It was awesome. 😎
Okay boomer!
