Oh for crying out loud. My point is it is a full time unit with support staff and is not just a couple airplanes parked on a ramp. DND is not going to station planes in Calgary or Edmonton when they have a operational base in Winnipeg already.

DND is in the midst of rebuilding Cold Lake to house F-35, MJ and Southport are about to go through a transition with lots of new infra, it doesn't make any sense that they would open a new base, detachment, whatever you want to call it in a city they left years ago.
