On Friday around 11 a.m., Canadian CF-18 fighter jets will be visible above the Freedom Monument in Riga, the Ministry of Defense told the LETA agency.
Two CF-18 fighter jets of the Royal Canadian Air Force arrived on Thursday at the military base in Lielvarde to demonstrate NATO's presence in the region and Canada's contribution to the security of Latvia and NATO's eastern flank. Canadian CF-18 fighters are deployed in Latvia as part of the Tarassis Joint Response Forces exercises.
The flight time may be changed depending on weather conditions or operational requirements, the ministry reported.
