Bulldog finds Choppers, Cessnas touring downtown sky

An examination of last night’s flights over downtown Toronto using the WebTrak flight tracking tool, has revealed a 30 minute jaunt by a helicopter out of Buttonville airport between about 8.45 and 9.15. There were also a host of Cessnas in what appeared to be “tourist mode” over downtown. There was a Jays game with the roof open, so no surprise there.  A couple of Cessnas originating from Toronto/Markham Airport and Burlington Airpark did multiple loops of downtown.  We’re sure it was a good view.  The Bulldog also noted a flight that originated near Polson Pier at approximately 11:10pm did a multiple passes around downtown and East York then passed over Davisville Village at approximately 11:40 p.m., at a mere 1400 ft. of altitude.  We think we heard that one!  It landed at Downsview at approximately 11:45 p.m.  Could that be one of the mystery choppers that kept us awake last night?
