Twice a year, Nav Canada sends an inspection aircraft to airports to test the ILS and other navigation systems. To do this they make several wheels up passes at various speeds and altitudes and its fun to watch them as they make their dramatic quick turns. This aircraft eventually went to the Province of Quebec as an air ambulance
