4 Wing Cold Lake is, without question, the home of the fighter pilot.
It not only hosts Canada’s world-class tactical fighter force training,
but also deploys and supports fighter aircraft at a moments notice to
fulfill the domestic and international roles of Canada's Air Force.
As an international Centre of Excellence for tactical fighter operations,
deployable combat support and leading edge training, 4 Wing focuses on
people, leadership, innovation and technology.
Two operational CF-18 Squadrons and two training squadrons, including
Phase IV of NATO Flying Training in Canada (NFTC), and numerous premier
support units, make 4 Wing Canada’s largest and busiest fighter
wing. As such, 4 Wing has some of the best and most sought after amenities
in the world, including an almost unrestricted 1.17 million hectare air
weapons range equipped with state-of-the-art threats and targets.
It is the vast array of support facilities and amenities that make Cold
Lake exercises so attractive and successful including the annual Maple
Flag Exercise, which draws international participation and continues
to expand each year
