April 1 marks the 100th anniversary of the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF).
An RCAF Gonzo, a heavily modified de Havilland Dash 8 aircraft, performs a flypast in Calgary on April 1, 2024. In Calgary, the Air Force Museum of Alberta marked the occasion by opening a new exhibit celebrating the 100th anniversary of the RCAF.
“The tenacity and the commitment and the skill of everyone that I've researched here over the years, over this past 100 years, it’s just incomparable,” Mercer said. “We should be thankful to them, they operate 24/7 taking care of the defence of Canada, The Search and Rescue aspect of actually making sure Canadians stay safe. You know, we take for granted, I think. Our Air Force is there for us all the time, and it's pretty special."
It was comprised of a full-time permanent force, a part-time non-permanent force and a reserve of non-active personnel.“In times of war and peace, members of the RCAF have shown unwavering courage. The Second World War marked the first significant challenge for the RCAF, with over 200,000 Canadians joining the Air Force to fight against tyranny and fascism,” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in a statement commemorating the 100th anniversary.
