Taking to the Latvian skies, CH-146 Griffons proudly represent the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) in our favourite photo of the week.
The Griffons, from the Tactical Aviation Detachment of the NATO Multinational Brigade Latvia, were taking part in a flypast over Riga to celebrate the Proclamation Day of the Republic of Latvia.
Proclamation Day of the Republic of Latvia, more informally known as the country’s Independence Day, is celebrated on Nov. 18. On this day, the Eastern European country marks its independence by the People’s Council of Latvia in 1918.
Since 2017, Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) members have been deployed to Latvia under Operation REASSURANCE. Currently, the CAF has approximately 1,600 members in Latvia, including participation in the NATO Multinational Battlegroup in Latvia (MNB-L), Task Force Latvia (TFL), as well as personnel at NATO’s MND-N Headquarters.
