A Royal Canadian Air Force CC-130J Hercules from 424 Transport and Rescue Squadron at 8 Wing Trenton, Ont. will conduct a flypast over the celebration of life for Captain Cameron Boyd. The flypast will take place over the Peterborough Golf and Country Club on Saturday November 29, at approximately 2:45 p.m. EST.
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. His expertise as a flight surgeon was valued and benefited additional bases across the country, including Comox, Moose Jaw, Cold Lake, and Goose Bay. His legacy of service and care will be remembered by all who had the privilege to serve alongside him.
Through flypasts such as this, the Royal Canadian Air Force is proud to honour our veterans and their dedicated service to Canada.
