Aircraft

Although 16 Wing is a non-flying Wing, there are several aircraft that are kept at the Wing and in Borden for various purposes.

At CFSATE, home of Canadian Forces aircraft technical training, a large number of instructional airframes provide hands-on experience to students of the Military Occupation Code (MOC) 500 series - the Air Trades. CFSATE maintains a fleet of nineteen CT-114 Tutor aircraft, as well as several other types of airframes.

Given Borden's rich Air Force heritage, it is no surprise that a significant historical aircraft collection is put on display for public viewing. These can be seen around the Wing, some outdoors and others indoors at the Air Force Annex of the Base Borden Military Museum.

In addition to historical and instructional aircraft, Borden is also home to a squadron of CH-146 Griffon helicopters. Even though 400 Tactical Helicopter Squadron (THS) is not part of 16 Wing, there is a close working relationship between the two as a result of their co-location in Borden.
