On Sunday, Captain Robert piloted a CF Hornet and explained how 2024 was a special year for the Canadian military. It’s the 100th Centennial for them.

Captain Robert said he couldn’t be prouder to represent his country and his country’s military by wowing the crowd at an American airshow right here in Hampton Roads.

“The fans are great they’re loud they’re crazy it’s awesome,” explained Robert.

Part of Robert’s mission is to showcase what being on the clock in the clouds can look like.
