@@canuckaviator9924 It would have been the shooting of Nathan Cirillo at the National War Memorial is my best guess given the timing of this video.

Cha gheill from Queen's University! XD I love the Rick Mercer Report.

[@bulk04]

Always loved flying over my Alma Mater, and Kingston in general, as a member of the Queen's Flying Club. One late fall afternoon after a trip to Ottawa, 3 planes with QFC members flying did a fly-by over a Golden Gaels football game.

The gift of gab! Good stuff, well edited.

The Canadian Military actually doesn't have the budget for bombs, so this is better practice than you'd think. SOURCE : Am a Chef/bomber in Canadian Military

It's amazing how Rick is getting away with so many things :D

[@lisatran4089]

That was Mr.Bean at 4:27.

Yanks watch and enjoy Rick's videos. I imagine all Canadians are like these good natured Folk. I stand for Flour Power Up North! It isn't as easy to hit a moving combine from the air as it seemed Ottawa's esteemed Mayor.

ya Kingston

My 13 year old blind son and his team won the flour bombing contest at the Arlington Air show in Washington State. You should challenge his team. The video is on KZbin.

My friend was an air cadet in 999 Air Cadets and he met Rick Mercer in this video!

[@peternault7040]

Looks like a botched coke drop

[@brandowill_i_am]

My friend is at 2:33 he had the green tuke

[@klixtrio7760]

Quick release seatbelt and no door on the plane...Seems a little dangerous

[@Omerta1911]

2:31 goodbye express test

Since I have a tractor prop setup, I want to bomb with throwing rolls of toilet paper unrolling in the air (cheap), or rolls of colored party streamers doing the same. :-) Maybe come back around, and slice or catch them with my wing. Let kids catch them when they flutter to the ground. Toilet paper drifting down seems much safer and fun to watch for the people on the ground that getting hit in the face with a little plastic baggie of flour. Mostly I want to add a three colored CMY Cyan Magenta Yellow smoke system to mine one day and see if it works to make any color smoke I want. They use color dyes in sugar smoke bombs so I don't see why it shouldn't work on a plane too... though you'd stain up your wings. I'm okay with that for the trade off in fun.

Just be glad they still don't bomb this way.

[@TheTim610]

Hit the mayor with flour? Two words, NOT GOOD

[@Troop3r666]

TheTim610 just be glad its flour

[@TheCanadiangirl4]

TheTim610 It just shows the mayor has a good sense of humour. Love the fact he flour bombed my city! Go Mercer!
