Although the CF-18 could make the trip from Cold Lake in about nine hours, the journey is made in hops, said Rock. That way the trip is easier on pilots and equipment. “Flying straight for nine hours can be quite hard on the body.” The first hop is from Cold Lake to CFB Bagotville, in Quebec. Pilots stay in Bagotville overnight then depending on the weather on the Atlantic Ocean travel to Prestwick, Scotland. After an overnight stop the final hop is to Romania. While there, Canadian pilots will be involved in air policing patrols as well as training tasks with Romanians. Along on the mission are aircraft maintainers and administrative personnel. “It’s not greatly different when we are in Cold Lake fulfilling our NORAD duties.” In total, there will be about 135 Canadians travelling to Romania, mostly from 4 Wing. There are also CAF members from 2 Wing in Bagotville. On August 18, about 80 members of the 2 Wing Air Forces Activation Surge Team left Bagotville to travel to Romania to prepare for the arrival of Air Task Force.
