Technicians from 8 Wing Transportation and 8 Air Maintenance Squadron prepare a CC-150 Airbus for flight on an early November 2000 morning. The CC-150 Polaris is the air force's only true strategic airlifter. It provides Canada with rapid global mobility, moving personnel and equipment all over the world at a moment's notice and sustaining their operations once in theatre. Five Airbus CC-150 Polaris, which replaced the aging Boeing in 1997, are operated by 437 Squadron at 8 Wing Trenton.
