Royal Canadian Air Force VIP Aircraft
The Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) maintains specialised aircraft to transport Canada's monarch, governor general, other members of the Royal Family, prime minister, other senior members of the government of Canada, and other dignitaries. A small fleet of dedicated executive government transport aircraft are organized into two RCAF squadrons. Other RCAF combat and transport helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft, along with chartered civilian aircraft, and, occasionally, scheduled commercial flights may also be used to meet Canada's VIP air transport requirements.

Famous quotes containing the words royal, canadian, air and/or force:
“This royal throne of kings, this sceptred isle,
This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars,
This other Eden, demi-paradise,
This fortress built by nature for herself
Against infection and the hand of war,
This happy breed of men, this little world,
This precious stone set in the silver sea,
Which serves it in the office of a wall,
Or as a moat defensive to a house
Against the envy of less happier lands;
This blessèd plot, this earth, this realm, this England.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“We’re definite in Nova Scotia—’bout things like ships ... and fish, the best in the world.”
—John Rhodes Sturdy, Canadian screenwriter. Richard Rossen. Joyce Cartwright (Ella Raines)
“The air split into nine levels,
Some gift of tongues of the whistler”
—James Dickey (b. 1923)
“Force was his juices and force was his meat.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
