The Royal Canadian Air Force will be conducting flybys in three parts of the Quinte region on Canada Day.
A CC-177 Globemaster will fly over at various times during the day in Belleville, Wellington and Brighton.
The aircraft will fly at a minimum altitude of 500 feet above the highest obstacle along their flight path.
In a release, RCAF says flybys are carefully planned and closely controlled for public safety and are dependent upon weather and flying conditions.
