A Royal Canadian Air Force CC-130J Hercules from 424 Transport and Rescue Squadron at 8 Wing CFB Trenton will conduct a flypast in memory of a late military captain with a connection to the Trenton military base.
The flypast will take place over the Peterborough Golf and Country Club on Saturday around 2:45 p.m., the site of a celebration of life
The aircraft will fly over at an altitude no lower than 500 feet above the highest obstacle on their route.
Flypasts by Royal Canadian Air Force aircraft are carefully planned and closely controlled for public safety, and are dependent upon weather and flying conditions.
Captain Cameron Boyd began his military service as a Medical Officer for the 25 (Toronto) Medical Company from 1989 to 1993.
He then dedicated over two decades of his career as a respected Flight Surgeon with 8 Air Reserve Flight, Trenton, from 1989 to 2013.
Boyd’s expertise as a Flight Surgeon was valued and benefited additional bases across the country, including Comox, Moose Jaw, Cold Lake, and Goose Bay.
Officials from Canada’s Department of National Defence say his legacy of service and care will be remembered by all who had the privilege to serve alongside him.
