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.

I with my royal straight flush,

“To be worst,
The lowest and most dejected thing of fortune,
Stands still in esperance, lives not in fear.
The lamentable change is from the best;
The worst returns to laughter. Welcome, then,
Thou unsubstantial air that I embrace!
The wretch that thou hast blown unto the worst
Owes nothing to thy blasts.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Misfortunes leave wounds which bleed drop by drop even in sleep; thus little by little they train man by force and dispose him to wisdom in spite of himself. Man must learn to think of himself as a limited and dependent being; and only suffering teaches him this.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)
