I was on 401, and I have spotted F-18 this afternoon landing at Pearson, I wonder if any one knows what is the occasion ?

That video is of the display bird from 425 Sqn. Was for the Sqn's 60th anniversary back in '02-'03 time frame...

2002 Demo Bird out of 425 is in the video.  There were 2 of them that year, with 410 having a bird as well, shown below.

Heard it (we're right under one of Pearson's flight paths) but then, of course, it was too late (and NO I wasn't drinking) 

Edit: more than one flight path
