As part of Canada’s commitment to the NATO, the
government of PM Harper decided to dispatch six Royal Canadian Air Force CF-18
Hornet jets to Eastern Europe.
On Apr. 29, six RCAF Hornets belonging to the 425th Tactical Fighter
Squadron have left Canadian Forces Base Bagotville in Quebec to join their NATO
counter parts that have increased their presence around Ukraine.
The flight, supported by a Polaris tanker and an Aurora patrol aircraft
have made a stopover in Keflavik,
Iceland, on their way to Romania.
The
purpose of their mission is “to conduct training activities in support of
immediate reassurance measures.”
