4 Sqn RBCAF

4 Squadron RBCAF is a unit of the Royal British Columbia Air Force serving the transport role since 1945.

History
In July 1945, 4 Sqn was converted to the transport role, which it has fulfilled ever since; in the summer of 1946, it began operating scheduled flights open to the public, on routes that are essential, but offer little profitability.
