Photo Ross Lees By Ross Lees arely two years ago, newly assigned 429 B(Transport) Squadron Commanding Offi cer (CO) Lt.-Col. Jason Stark called his assignment to the head of the Bison herd as his “dream job.” Last week, as he prepared to hand over the reins to incoming CO Lt.-Col. Jean Maisonneuve, he called it “an opportunity of a lifetime.” He gave credit for that wonderful experience not only to the workhorse aircraft (the CC-177 Globemaster III) which they fl y, but to the wonder- ful people of 429 Squadron who always give extra effort to make all missions succeed. “We are often the fi rst one in and the last one out,” he told his audience at 1 Hangar Friday af- ternoon. “There’s no Canadian Armed Forces op- eration that is not somehow affected or supported by you. This constant affect on global operations, our ability to project Canadian values and inter- ests abroad with unprecedented speed and reach is something we should all be proud of.” Continued on page 9 Vintage Wings' aircraft fl y the friendly Quinte skies 100 local fl ights designed to help excite cadets about science, technology, engineering and math One hundred fl ights of 500 across Canada this By Ross Lees summer were fl own in these vintage aircraft as ne hundred cadets at CFB Trenton and part of the educational outreach program, Yel- O Mountain View had the most amazing ex- low Wings, developed by perience of their young lives while attending Vintage Wings of Canada to address the chal- the Trenton Air Cadet Summer Training Cen- lenge of turning young people on to science, This Fleet Finch carries a cadet over the friendly tre (TACSTC). technology, engineering and math, and motivat- ing them to pursue their dreams through hard- skies of CFB Trenton Tuesday morning.

  • The the 50Th Anniversary of the Canadian Armed Forces Logistics
    The The 50th Anniversary of the Canadian Armed Forces Logistics Branch “In the Shadows of the Limelight” The tales, anecdotes, salty dips and rumoured to be true stories from those who served Edition 1 January 18, 2019 Edited by LCol Mike Hendrigan, CD (Retired) Dedication n putting this collection of stories together, I often wondered if a dedication was required, and it was, how would I word it? I pondered the subject for way too long and as the weeks I turned into months, I thought about possible options and formats. In my research into what I thought would be an easy matter, I found the following information on dedications: A dedication could be addressed to a parent, a sibling or other family member, a friend a supervisor or even a mascot. Ok, this was a start. A dedication could be formal or informal, and provide a reason. There is no one way to write a dedication. Darn, back to square one. So with no right answer, no fixed format and no further ahead, I came up with a couple dedications that seemed appropriate. If you want to see what I came up with, keep reading. Otherwise, skip this part and flip a few pages forward to the first “Log Tale”. On my first attempt, I came up with this: This book is dedicated to the thousands of serving logisticians who will be celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Canadian Armed Forces Logistics Branch on 1 February 2018. That seemed a little too vanilla and bland, so I came up with a second version: To all logisticians, past and present, who supported CAF operations, missions and exercises with honour.
