July 22, 2011 Serving 8 Wing/CFB Trenton • 8e escadre/BFC Trenton • Volume 46 Issue Number 29 • International paratroopers splash down in local waters
By Jed Devenish
The picturesque landscape of the Bay of Quinte, Sandbanks Provin- cial Park, and 8 Wing/CFB Trenton’s Mountain View Detachment were used as drop zones for military paratroopers from around the globe. The second annual Exercise Quinte Dipper, held last week, brought military jumpers from six nations to 8 Wing/ CFB Trenton for week-long exercises in parachute and competitive military training. Approximately 60 foreign military parachutists from the United States, United Kingdom, Poland, Chile, Ger- many and Mexico, joined 40 Canadian jumpers to create global understanding of how each country’s airborne operates and conducts operations. “The exercise was started as an in- itiative to enhance the Canadian Forces Land Advanced Warfare Centre’s ca- pabilities and staff understanding,” Rick Ruthven explains Capt Christopher Nobrega.

Quinte SailAbility celebrated its 10 year anniversary with a very special guest. The Honourable David C.

The treacherous jour- ney was an intensive training exercise to augment SAR techs skills and enhance trade esprit de corps. “Rescue missions require SAR techs to plunge in to every conceivable weather and geographic condition,” said expedition leader Sergeant Rob Coates. “Canada’s extreme wilderness attracts elite adventurers from around the world, and if they require assistance, SAR techs need to have the skill level to operate in Towering at nearly 6,000 metres, Sgt Rob Coates (left) and MCpl Jeff Ferguson the same environments in order to effect Mount Logan is world-famous, not from 424 Transport and Rescue Squadron, 8 Wing/CFB Trenton celebrate reaching the a rescue.” just for its height but for its tremen- summit of Mt.
