A military jet roaring across the North Okanagan has social media buzzing.
The plane was seen over Vernon several times Friday afternoon, leading to numerous posts and comments.
The Vernon & Area Community Forum page lit up with comments ranging from the Canadian Airforce was conducting training exercises to more humorous comments of “I am pretty sure I saw Tom Cruise at the gas station near the airport.”
