PRINCE GEORGE – Starting Thursday, March 4 until Monday, March 8, the CC-177 Globemaster III aircraft from 429 Transport Squadron, based out of 8 Wing Trenton, will be conducting cross-country flying training at the Prince George airport.

Cross country flying is a type of long-distance training to perform low approaches, landing, and take-offs at airports and is essential for maintaining the skills of aircrew so they are ready to safely execute Canadian Armed Forces missions around the world; often under challenging conditions.

Some RCAF aircraft are larger than many passenger airplanes and may appear to be flying lower than they actually are.
