Testimonials

Excitement, challenge, responsibility
Second Lieutenant Leighton James, 27, from Hamilton, Ontario is currently training to be a military pilot at the Canadian Forces Flying Training School at 15 Wing Moose Jaw.

Bringing relief to those in peril
There are many different missions you can fly as a Canadian Forces pilot. One of the most rewarding is flying Search and Rescue.

Extreme opportunities
All of our aircraft demand extreme performance from extreme professionals under extreme conditions. You could be searching for lost fishermen in almost zero visibility, off-loading soldiers in a war zone with engines running or flying combat missions in a CF18.

To the stars
Colonel Chris Hadfield, the first Canadian to walk in space, walked in to his local recruiting centre in 1978 with the dream of becoming an air force pilot and an astronaut.
