Second World War

CFB Goose Bay traces its roots to the Second World War. Canada built several strategic bases in Newfoundland and Labrador, for the protection of North America from attack on its northeastern flank, and in the case of Goose Bay, to act as a staging point in the north-eastern air route across the Atlantic via Greenland, Iceland, and the British Isles.

In the summer of 1941, an RCAF survey team determined a suitable location for an air base on a large low-lying plateau above the flood plain where the Churchill River emptied into Lake Melville. The westernmost portion of Lake Melville is Goose Bay, at the head of which is the harbour of Terrington Basin. These navigable waterbodies, connected to the Atlantic Ocean through Groswater Bay, the outer portion of Hamilton Inlet, provided marine access and good anchorage for cargo ships which would service the base.

Construction soon followed the initial surveys and three (3) 7,000 foot runways were opened on November 16, 1941. The first military aircraft landed on December 9. At this time, over 3,000 RCAF personnel were assigned to RCAF Station Goose Bay. The Permanent Joint Board on Defence allowed the United States Army Air Forces to build its own facilities on the south side of the base. Following the runway construction of 1941, workers continued to build other facilities on the base. By 1942 there were 1,700 USAAF personnel and 700 civilians posted to the base, making the area the largest population concentration in Labrador at the time. In 1943, RCAF Station Goose Bay was the busiest airport in the world and the neighbouring town of Happy Valley was created to house construction workers and civilian employees.

Following the war, the RCAF and USAAF maintained a presence at the base. On March 31, 1949 Newfoundland became Canada's tenth province when it entered Confederation. Renamed in 1947, the United States Air Force (USAF) remained at the base, naming its specific area "Goose AFB". In response to the Cold War, it expanded its presence during the 1950s, and began to use Goose Bay as a staging facility for nuclear-armed bombers.

On November 10, 1950 a USAF B-50 bomber flying between Goose Bay and a base in Arizona was forced to jettison and detonate 3 unarmed nuclear bombs over the St. Lawrence River near St-Andre-de-Kamouraska, Quebec. As the plutonium cores of the bombs had been removed and stored at Goose Bay, the onboard bombs contained only the high explosive implosion cores, and were thus considered "unarmed". Encountering engine trouble, and with contemporary doctrine requiring that aircraft be lightened by dropping ordnance, the flight crew released the bombs. The weapons detonated at 2,500 feet over the river — apparently causing no damage. The episode was not disclosed by the Canadian government until 2000.[1] November 10 is the 314th day of the year (315th in leap years) in the Gregorian Calendar, with 51 days remaining. ... 1950 (MCML) was a common year starting on Sunday (link will take you to calendar). ...

In 1953, the USAF signed a 20-year lease agreement with Canada for its continued use of the air base. Goose Bay's strategic location as one of the closest North American air bases (by flying time) to the Soviet Union ensured it a prominent role, as fighter interceptor squadrons were posted at the base in a bid to ward off Soviet incursions of North American airspace. 1953 (MCMLIII) was a common year starting on Thursday (link is to a full 1953 calendar). ...

In November 1954, a new air defence radar station was opened nearby. The USAF Melville Radar Station, or air station, was attached to Peperell AFB in St. John's and was operated as part of the Pinetree Line. Beginning in 1957, Goose Bay began to support the USAF's Strategic Air Command (using the 4082 Strategic Wing). At this time, there were over 3,300 military and 700 civilians assigned to the U.S. side of the base. Goose Bay soon began to see B-47 bombers and KC-97 aerial refuelling tankers, followed by KC-135 tankers in 1960. It was also during the 1960s that Goose Bay began to see B-52 bombers. Goose Bay also took over many of the functions provided by Ernest Harmon AFB in Stephenville which closed in 1966. Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, Goose Bay was home to over 12,000 USAF personnel and their families. 1954 (MCMLIV) was a common year starting on Friday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

The 4082 Strategic Wing deactivated and became the 95 Strategic Wing in 1966 and the fighter interceptor aircraft were relocated to other U.S. bases. During this time, there was a small RCAF presence on the north side of the base, however pending budget cuts in the late 1960s prior to unification saw the RCAF transfer its responsibilities for operation of the base to the Department of Transport in 1967.

The air base operations on the north side of the base (CFB Goose Bay) were closed, and the Canadian and RAF operations consolidated on the south side with the USAF. That same year, the USAF gave operation of the nearby Melville Radar Station over to the Canadian Forces, which renamed the facility Canadian Forces Station Goose Bay (CFS Goose Bay). 1971 (MCMLXXI) was a common year starting on Friday (the link is to a full 1971 calendar). ...

In 1973, the USAF's 20-year lease agreement was extended for 6 months to July 1, 1973.

The Canadian Forces continued to use Goose Bay for staging interceptor aircraft, however Canadian Forces Air Command concentrated on purchasing the new CF-18 interceptor in the late 1970s and early 1980s. CF-18s for eastern Canada were to be based at CFB Bagotville in Quebec, thus the future was looking bleak for both CFB Goose Bay and CFB Chatham.

In response to lessons learned from the Vietnam War and the growing sophistication of Soviet anti-aircraft radar and surface-to-air missile technology being deployed in Europe, NATO allies began looking at new doctrines in the 1970s-1980s which mandated low-level flight to evade detection. CFB Goose Bay's location in Labrador, with a population of around 30,000 and area measuring 294,000 km², made it an ideal location for low-level flight training. Labrador's sparse settlement and a local topography similar to parts of the Soviet Union, in addition to proximity to European NATO nations, "sealed the deal" which saw CFB Goose Bay grow to become the primary low-level tactical training area for several NATO air forces during the 1980s.

The increased low-level flights by fighter aircraft was not without serious controversy as the Innu Nation protested these operations vociferously, claiming that the noise of aircraft travelling at supersonic speeds in close proximity to the ground ("nap of the earth flying") was adversely affecting wildlife, namely caribou, and was a nuisance to their way of life on their traditional lands. Many protests evolved into dangerous activities, including trespassing into the low-level flying ranges (at detriment of the safety of protesters), and even to shooting hunting rifles at the fighter aircraft. The protests, while having died down with changes in operating areas and raising of flight altitudes, have never really disappeared.

During the 1980s-1990s, CFB Goose Bay hosted permanent detachments from the Royal Air Force, Luftwaffe, Royal Netherlands Air Force, and the Aeronautica Militare, in addition to temporary deployments from several other NATO countries. Goose Bay was a very attractive training facility for these air forces in light of the high population concentration in their countries, as well as numerous laws preventing low-level flying.
