July 29, 2026 – Kingston, Ontario – National Defence / Canadian Armed Forces 

A CH-147F Chinook helicopter from 1 Wing is scheduled to conduct a flypast over Mackenzie Campus Field in Deep River, Ontario, on August 1, 2026. Following the flypast at 11 a.m. EDT, the aircraft will land at the field and be available for public viewing during a static display until 2 p.m. as part of Deep River Summerfest 2026.

The aircraft will operate at altitudes no less than 500 feet above the highest obstacle on their route. Flight activities may generate unfamiliar noise and attract the attention of local residents. 

Royal Canadian Air Force flights are meticulously planned and closely monitored to ensure public safety, with operations contingent on weather and flying conditions. We appreciate the understanding and continued support of the local community.

The Royal Canadian Air Force is honoured to participate in Deep River Summerfest 2026, highlighting the professionalism, dedication, and service of the aviators who support Canadians every day.

Un hélicoptère de l’Aviation royale canadienne appuiera le Festival Summerfest 2026 de Deep River par un survol aérien

Le 29 juillet, 2026 – Kingston (Ontario) – Défense nationale / Forces armées canadiennes 

Un hélicoptère CH-147F Chinook de la 1re Escadre effectuera un survol du campus Mackenzie à Deep River (Ontario) le 1er août 2026. À la suite du survol prévu à 11 h (HAE), l’aéronef se posera sur le terrain et sera accessible au public dans le cadre d’une présentation statique jusqu’à 14 h, dans le cadre du Festival Summerfest 2026 de Deep River.

L’aéronef évoluera à une altitude minimale de 500 pieds au-dessus du point le plus élevé de sa trajectoire. Les activités de vol pourraient générer du bruit inhabituel et attirer l’attention des résidents locaux.

Les vols de l’Aviation royale canadienne sont planifiés avec soin et étroitement surveillés afin d’assurer la sécurité du public, les opérations étant tributaires des conditions météorologiques et de vol. Nous remercions la communauté locale pour sa compréhension et son soutien indéfectible.

L'Aviation royale canadienne est honorée de participer au Festival d'été de Deep River 2026, mettant en valeur le professionnalisme, le dévouement et le service des aviateurs et aviatrices qui soutiennent la population canadienne chaque jour.
