About this listen
From RCAF Patrol Missions to Counter-Drug and SAR Operations in the Caribbean
What kinds of missions do a long-range patrol sensor operator and crew commander face in the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF)? What challenges and close calls have they experienced, and how did those skills carry over into high-stakes counter-narcotics and Search and Rescue (SAR) missions in the Caribbean?
In this episode, retired RCAF Lieutenant-Colonel Trevor Juby, now Chief Pilot with Provincial Airlines / PAL Aerospace in Curaçao, and retired RCAF Master Warrant Officer Pat Lalande, now a tactical coordinator and mission commander with PAL Aerospace, share their journey from Canadian military aviation to today’s critical counter-drug and SAR operations.
Listeners will hear about their careers in the RCAF, the transition to international aviation operations, and the realities of flying missions in one of the most complex and dynamic regions of the world.
