DFJB Boundary Bay
Defence Forces Joint Base Boundary Bay, abbreviated DFJB Boundary Bay is a military airbase in Boundary Bay, Delta, British Columbia. It is shared by the Royal British Columbia Air Force and the Royal British Columbia Marine Corps.
DFJB Boundary Bay
The base was known as RBCAF Boundary Bay and was used primarily by reserve units of the air force until 1955, when a detachment of the Marine Aviation Battalion was stationed there, with the base receiving its current name at that time.
Stationed here is the 604 (SAM) Squadron providing air defence to the Lower Mainland. DFJB Boundary Bay is also the home of the RBCAF Flight Training School, where basic pilot training takes place for Air Force pilots; it is also used by the Royal BC Air Cadets for introductory lessons.
