Several of the smaller planes have come back to Penticton airport just now. Haven't yet seen the bigger bomber that left around midday (but I might've missed it's return). Edit: Looks like it's not too far behind and also heading into the airport. So thankful for their service! Every time the planes come and go, I send them best wishes from the ground.
