January 2022

After the New Year I was on my way to CFB Gagetown. The equipment was starting to arrive. First there were Analog gateways and then the battery back up's (UPS) to be installed. One hundred and seventy UPS's all together, and installing the UPS's was not fun. They weigh 77 LBS and we had to move them by hand. It wasn't fun carrying them up two and three flights of stairs. Half way through February the company decide that it would be cheaper to use contractors on the job so we were sent home. After three weeks at home it seems like the contractor couldn't do the work so we were all sent back to the east coast.                                                         My next stop was CFB Greenwood N.S.

I arrived in 14 Wing CFB Greenwood in March and we had an old century home to stay in about 10 minutes from the base. The house backed on to the air field so it was nice to be that close. CFB Greenwood is an Air Force Base and again we were not allowed to take pictures on the base. It was great to see the F-18's fly in from CFB Bagotville Q.C. once a week. There were three of us tech's from Ontario sent to help out the East coast Telus tech's and two contactor's.

               Here's some pictures of the equipment they have on the base.

         

               CP 140 Aurora Reconnaissance Plane used for submarine hunting

                                   CH-149 Cormorant Search and Rescue

                                                     C-130 Hercules

                                               Bell CH 146 Griffin

                                             

            And once a week the F-18 Super Hornet would fly in for the day

Just out front of the base was a museum and it was nice to walk around the planes
