Operation Inspiration is in full force.

The Canadian Forces Snowbirds -- based out of 15 Wing Moose Jaw -- continued their cross-Canada tour on Wednesday morning, performing flyovers of cities in New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island to kick off a busy day touring the Atlantic provinces.

The Snowbirds are in the midst of a cross-Canada tour featuring fly-overs of communities from coast-to-coast as part of a morale-boosting endeavour during the COVID-19 pandemic.

And while such performances are fairly regular to us in Moose Jaw, they're quite the event for anyone else, as seen by the reaction on social media.

Several tweets showing the flyover of Moncton, New Brunswick were quickly posted.

From there, it was a short hop over to Charlottetown and the rest of Prince Edward Island, drawing more impressed reactions. The Snowbirds are back in the air this afternoon as they travel to Quebec for flyovers of Rimouski and Saguenay. Be sure to check the Snowbirds Twitter account for plenty more video and a look at where they'll be day-to-day on Operation Inspiration.
