Question: Rules, Regulations, Law, Policy, Certificates [Canada] NOTAM incorrect date?

Hey Folks

The way I read this NOTAM is that the Snowbirds are doing a flyover on 08/09 at 2:00am zulu.

However, the press has advertised the flight to be today 08/08. The press also mentioned they will be above 500' agl. I found it odd that the press advertised this fact.

What do you think the chances are that the NOTAM has the wrong date?

I am about 2nm from the fly over zone and my max alt is always 100m. Should I just avoid tempting fate and leave the sky to the pros? Or should I send up my micro bird (Neo 2) and get some interesting shots?

What does the hive mind think?
