Canadian Forces Base Greenwood (IATA: YZX, ICAO: CYZX), or CFB Greenwood, is a Canadian Forces Base located 1.5 nautical miles (2.8 km; 1.7 mi) east Greenwood, Nova Scotia. It is primarily operated as an air force base by the Royal Canadian Air Force and is one of two bases in the country using the CP-140 Aurora and CP-140A Arcturus anti-submarine/maritime patrol and surveillance aircraft. Its primary RCAF lodger unit is 14 Wing, commonly referred to as 14 Wing Greenwood.
Canadian Forces
Today CFB Greenwood remains Canada’s largest operational air force base on the Atlantic coast, based on numbers of aircraft and personnel. The following aircraft types are permanently stationed at the base:
-
CP-140 Aurora, anti-submarine warfare/long-range maritime patrol
-
CP-140A Arcturus, long-range maritime/Arctic patrol
-
CH-149 Cormorant, air-sea rescue
-
CC-130 Hercules, air-sea rescue, transport
With CFB Gander and CFB Goose Bay, CFB Greenwood is being used as a forward deployment base for CF-188 Hornet fighter/interceptor aircraft rotating in from CFB Bagotville as part of NORAD’s post-9/11 response to concerns about civilian airline security along North America’s east coast.
Air Cadets
CFB Greenwood hosts a Royal Canadian Air Cadets summer training centre known as CSTC Greenwood. CFB Greenwood is also the home of 517 F/Lt. Graham Squadron, an air cadet organization.
Civilian use
Until 2005, CFB Greenwood’s airfield was home to the Greenwood Flying Club for civilian general aviation. However, civilian aircraft are no longer permitted to operate at the base. The Greenwood Flying Club has changed its name to the Greenwood Flight Centre and operates out of the Waterville/Kings County Municipal Airport, a small civilian airport located 12 NM (22 km) east of CFB Greenwood.
