408 Tactical Helicopter Squadron (408 THS) will be conducting mountain flying training in Ram Falls, Alberta and the surrounding area from Friday, June 12 until Sunday, June 14.

Members of the public can expect to see three CH-146 Griffon helicopters operating from Ram Falls air strip, flying as far north as Nordegg, as far south as Sundre, just west of Rocky Mountain House, and into British Columbia’s Donald area.

Approximately 20 members of the squadron will be accompanied by two military-patterned vehicles travelling by road. No firearms will be used by personnel, aircraft or vehicles.

408 THS plans to be in the area starting at 6:00 p.m. on June 12 and leave the area by 1:00 p.m. on June 14.

The Squadron appreciates the support of the people of Alberta as we continue to train to support Canadians’ needs domestically and abroad.
