Increased Flight Training in Goose Bay

Residents can expect some added flight training activity in the skies over Goose Bay in the coming days.

5 Wing Goose Bay says low-level flying training operations involving CF-1888 Hornets will be conducted at the Practice Target Area south of Goose Bay from now till Friday, April 8.

Members of the public are being asked to remain outside the Practice Target Area at all times during that period.

The aircraft will be dropping Practice Precision Guide Munitions and self-defense Chaff and Flares during their operations.

There is no road access to the area, however it is outlined by the continuous cut line with signs posted at regular intervals.

Anyone who finds foreign material in the area after the training is complete is asked not to handle it and report its location to Wings Operations by calling 896-6900 ext. 7332.
