CANADIAN FORCES BASE COLD LAKE
              
MEDLEY, ALBERTA

Canadian Forces Base Cold Lake is located in east central Alberta, just 10 miles from the Saskatchewan border, and 185 miles east of Edmonton.  RCAF Station Cold Lake stood up in 1954, and boasts an extraordinary 180km by 65km air weapons range.  This is where Canada's fighter pilots learn their craft, and is world famous for the annual Maple Flag exercise.

CFB Cold Lake is home to 4 Wing, as well as two of our exchange officers. Our exchange positions consist of a Major/11E3B CF-18 Experimental Test Pilot and a Captain/X62E3F Fixed Wing Flight Test Engineer, both working in the Aerospace Engineering Test Establishment (AETE).
