CFB Bagotville CF-188 3d OSS vintage style military aviation travel poster art by Squadron Posters!

Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Bagotville is a key Royal Canadian Air Force installation located in Quebec’s scenic Saguenay region. Home to 3 Wing, it plays a vital role in North American air defense as part of NORAD and supports domestic and expeditionary operations alike. The base is renowned for hosting CF-188 Hornet squadrons, rapid-response alert forces, and numerous air shows that showcase Canadian air power. With its unique geography, CFB Bagotville offers strategic reach across the Atlantic and Arctic regions. It stands as both a hub of military readiness and a proud symbol of Canada’s aviation heritage.

The CF-188 Hornet, also known as the CF-18, is Canada’s versatile, twin-engine multirole fighter aircraft, based on the American F/A-18A/B. Since entering service in the 1980s, the CF-188 has served as the backbone of Canadian air defense, excelling in both air superiority and ground attack missions. Distinctively marked with a spotlight on the nose for nighttime identification, the CF-188 has proven itself in NORAD patrols, NATO deployments, and UN operations worldwide. It combines speed, agility, and precision in a combat-tested airframe. As Canada transitions to its next-generation fighter, the CF-188 remains a powerful symbol of national defense and allied cooperation.
