Hello from Canada

Post by alexisantonakis » Wed May 12, 2021 5:06 am

Hi, New to this group.
Based in Edmonton in Canada, so get a fair few mil both from over the Pond to the West Coast of the US, but also from Alaska, heading to the East Coast. Been a number of B-52s recently doing a round robin of the US, ending up just north of Edmonton before turning south again

Also get a few Canadian movements, but nothing too interesting, except for the occasional CF-188 out of Cold Lake. During Maple Flag, things do tend to pick up a little here. And right now there is Maple Resolve going on at CFB Wainwright, where three USA UH-60s are taking part, and they generally pop into the hospitals around Edmonton on Medevac training flights. In fact just had one a few minutes ago

There are a lot of interesting and knowledgeable people on here, so I hope you enjoy it.
And I hope you can provide some news from over there.

Question for you, how far is Cold Lake to drive from Edmonton? I was thinking of going that way on my long-awaited trip to the Rockies with the wife
