Flyby for ceremonial re-commissioning event of HMCS Sackville
The Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) will be conducting a flyby with a CH-148 Cyclone helicopter in Halifax, Nova Scotia, on May 15, 2026, in support of the ceremonial re-commissioning of His Majesty’s Canadian Ship (HMCS) Sackville. This ceremony will take place at Sackville Landing in Halifax, where the aircraft will be entering and exiting the area, north to south, between 11:00 a.m. and noon.
In a symbolic act recognizing the ship’s wartime service and enduring legacy, this ceremony will reaffirm HMCS Sackville’s place in the Royal Canadian Navy’s rich history. The event will take place in the presence of senior naval leadership, dignitaries, and members of the public.
RCAF flybys are carefully planned and closely controlled for public safety. The aircraft will be at an altitude no lower than 500 feet above the highest obstacle over ground level.
