Residents of Cold Lake and the surrounding Lakeland area may notice an increase in air traffic from October 20 to November 7, 2025 during the day and evenings, as Alpha Jets, Learjets, and USAF B-52H Stratofortress participate in training missions.
4 Wing is always mindful of our Lakeland community neighbours, and this type of training is not intended to disrupt; efforts will be made to minimize noise over the City of Cold Lake. Always carefully planned and closely controlled to ensure public safety, this type of training provides valuable and legitimate training to maintain collective readiness and operational effectiveness.
