I see the Hercs and F18s there regularly. They've been training when I asked. Even got a tour of the Herc the other day! Apparently the fueler in CYOD doesn't or wasn't operating on weekends for a while hence the reason they came to YEG Friday-Mondays.

There's a conspiracy theory that claims that the jump platoon commanders are behind the closure of the airport at Namao because they couldn't complicate the organization of training for the paratroopers. Now they have to organize the logistics of taking all those guys plus kit to the international which creates many opportunities for "hurry up and wait" as well as confusion and delays that were not available when they had their own runway.

Much more to the army's speed
