CP-140 Aurora

In this series a Canadian Forces CP-140 "Aurora" takes off from runway 30 at CFB Greenwood (CYZX) in Nova Scotia for a maritime surveillance patrol in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Our mission is to check out shipping traffic and see generally what's going on in this important waterway.

 

Here are a couple of maps to help orient us for the mission. The arrow on the first map points to our home base location at CFB Greenwood close to the NW coast of Nova Scotia. The second map is our general area of operations in the Gulf of St. Lawrence.

Turning on course for the Gulf and climbing up for the short cruise segment to our op area. The distinctive "fishhook" entrance to the Minas Channel and Basin area are visible in the distance in the second shot. Compare this FS2020 scenery view to the Nova Scotia map in the first shot.
