Where was Operation Maple Flag hosted?

• A. Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada
• B. Edwards Air Force Base, California
• C. 4 Wing, Cold Lake, Alberta, Canada
• D. RAF Akrotiri, Cyprus

Answer: (C)

Maple Flag is a large-scale air combat training exercise run by the Royal Canadian Air Force. It is hosted at 4 Wing Cold Lake in Alberta, Canada, taking advantage of Cold Lake’s expansive airspace and facilities to practice multinational, multi-aircraft operations similar in scope to Red Flag. This Canadian-hosted event centers on mission planning, air superiority, and coordinated air-ground campaigns with participating allies. The other locations are tied to different programs: Nellis hosts the US Red Flag, Edwards is primarily a flight-test and development base, and RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus serves other regional training activities.
