Geocache Description:

Canadian Forces Base Cold Lake (IATA: YOD, ICAO: CYOD), commonly referred to as CFB Cold Lake, is a Canadian Forces Base located adjacent to the city of Cold Lake, Alberta. It is operated as an air force base by Canadian Forces Air Command (the largest in Canada) and is one of two bases in the country using the CF-18 Hornet fighter/interceptor. Its primary lodger unit is 4 Wing.

Civilian passenger service is available through the Medley passenger terminal on the periphery of the air base. There is regularly scheduled air service between Calgary and the civilian terminal. Unscheduled civilian air traffic is usually directed to the Cold Lake Regional Airport.

The facility is named Cold Lake/Group Captain R.W. McNair Airport. It is one of only three military aerodromes in Canada to be named after an individual; Valcartier (W/C J.H.L. (Joe) Lecomte) Heliport and Moose Jaw/Air Vice Marshal C.M. McEwen Airport being the others.

The airport is classified as an airport of entry by NAV CANADA and is staffed by the Canada Border Services Agency. The use of the airport by international flights is currently restricted to military aircraft and personnel only.
