Well it’s been quite a year! 2014 brought with it many changes, including a new look for our website. The new site allowed us to enter the world of social media, connecting us with Facebook and allowing us to post in real time.
We introduced new visitors, explored the archives, revealing the histories of some of the people who served at 19 Wing, and were able to post a first hand account of the OMMC conference. We were able to connect relatives, share stories with the Comox Valley Record, and pay tribute to those volunteers who passed this year.
We said goodbye to the Spitfire, updated new exhibits, and covered the Air Show. We hosted the Snowbirds and introduced you to their biggest fan.
What does 2015 hold for us? I can’t wait to find out!

The CAFM commemorates the role and history of 19 Wing (CFB/RCAF/RAF), documenting significant achievements in West Coast Military Aviation History.
Founded in 1982 as part of the Air Force Indoctrination School, CAFM was accredited as a stand-alone Canadian Forces Museum and officially opened its doors to the public on 12 September 1987.
