Welcome to the "Home of the Herd". 404 Squadron is located in the heart of the Annapolis Valley of Nova Scotia at 14 Wing Greenwood

We are fortunate to have some of the best flying weather on the Eastern
sea board, making it ideal to train Canadian Forces aircrew and technicians for
employment on the CP-140 Aurora Maritime Patrol Aircraft.

The training at 404 Squadron is nonstop as we conduct three Maritime
Operational Aircrew Training courses every year. Two of our courses last
four and a half months for aircrew new to the Aurora. For those returning
to the Aircraft, we offer a three month refresher course in late summer.

404 Squadron also trains all technicians who service the Aurora. Last
year, we graduated a total of 208 technicians. At the annual Fincastle
Competition, Greenwood's Aurora ground crews have won the Maintenance Trophy in consecutive years, confirming their superiority in the field of maintenance.

We are proud of 404 Squadron's wartime and peacetime record. In our current role as principal provider of aircrew and technician training for the CP-140 Aurora fleet, we continue to uphold the traditions of our past.
