This pass, the last of four, was right over our house near Metrotown in Burnaby, probably for the closing ceremonies of the World Police and Fire Games (or the Burnaby Blues and Roots Festival -- both events are nearby).

The KEM-3a is a high altitude spy plane/fighter.
The extra wing length along with two extra engines (wing mounted) provides better lift at higher altitudes. The extra wings also carry four external, as well as internal, fuel tanks. The to smaller fuel tank are dropped not longer after take off (they are used for the large amounts of fuel burned during take off and are not refillable by air). The larger tanks are refillable by air; they can also dropped but only in emergencies (called the $10,000 fill-up) and the pilot will be fined for doing so; when dropped the tanks could be used as ballast-release, missile aversion decoys (by remote detonation) or as bombs (BUT highly suggested not to drop unless in EXTREME emergency).
The extra wings can also be drop in exteme emergencies (called the $100,000 life insurance), but no penalties will be given unless the pilot was found negligent after an investigation {yay military polices}
It is possible for the -3a to carry the same armaments as the -3, but is suggested not to, in the case of overload and engine stress causing failures.

A flyover, probably for the closing ceremonies of the World Police and Fire Games (or the Burnaby Blues and Roots Festival), which happens this evening, August 9.
The RCAF CF-18 Hornet demo during the 2023 Abbotsford Airshow. The Cf-18s are now due to be replaced by the new CF-35 Lightnings by 2027 making this years airshow one of the last few times that they'll be at Abbotsford. It'll be sad to see them go when they're finally retired.
A quick stop at the Museum of the Regiments after lunch to find a geocache with my brother Jeff.
