A few raised eyebrows especially on the west side this morning as what sounded like a low flying aircraft zoomed overhead.
Some people thinking it was some kind of military aircraft or a plane in distress because of the unusual whining sound of the engines as it crossed over west around 7.
CHSJ News checked with the Saint John airport – a spokesperson tells us there were two commercial flights departing for Halifax and Montreal between 6:30 and 7 – a check of the logs also shows there were a couple of private flights departing during that period as well.
The airport official says they are not aware of any flights reported in distress – and – suggest it was probably a pilot trying to avoid some active weather — the west side was drenched by a heavy downpour of rain shortly after they mystery plane flew over the area.
