According to CFB Cold Lake Public Affiars; it sounds like the public viewing area will be open! Great news!

Hi guys.....just wanted to chime in regarding the Maple Flag open house. There will not be an open house because of the short length of this years exercise.

I'm not sure if regular roads around the perimeter is accessible or allowed.
I'm a little late to the party. There is a media day on June 21 for accredited media. Media can request being airside for a launch, but staffing has been tight as of late, so it's highly doubtful they can fill such a request.

NATO AWACS is still on the list as of May 31. French AWACS no longer participating though.

Is the 21 the only day media can go airside?

I have been notified by Base Public Affairs that June 21st is the ONLY Day Media will be permitted on base access.

Yes....but you must have accreditation from a publication, newspaper or tv news. If you apply simply for your own website, you will not get media access on June 21.

Anyone head out there yet? Or know if the exercise runs on the weekend? Saturday would be the only day I could check it out. Plus the weather during this week looks marginal at best until Friday.
