CFB Chatham, Military air base in Chatham, New Brunswick, Canada

The Canadian Forces Base Chatham covered an area south of Chatham with three 5,000-foot runways and multiple military training facilities.

The base opened in 1940 as part of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan, establishing two schools for pilot and air observer training.

The RCAF Golden Hawks aerobatic team made CFB Chatham their home base in 1959, performing demonstrations of Canadian military aviation excellence.

Parts of the former military installation now function as Miramichi Municipal Airport, with commercial flights operating from the original airfield.

The facility housed a nuclear warhead storage area under US control during the Cold War period when 416 Squadron operated CF-101 Voodoo aircraft.
