Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stops in at Alberni Valley airport

Military Challenger jet drops Trudeau off to waiting motorcade heading west

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made a brief appearance at the Alberni Valley Regional Airport late Monday afternoon (July 30), after his military Challenger jet landed at the airport.

Trudeau was whisked into a waiting motorcade and a bystander at the airport said he was heading back to Tofino, where his family has been vacationing since the weekend of July 21.

Two CF-18 fighter jets could be seen high in the sky, escorting the Challenger, and the airport was heavily guarded by security.

Weather reports from the Tofino Airport at Long Beach forecasted fog on Monday.
