“Having grown up in the Quinte West (Trenton) area, I have a firm understanding and appreciation of 8 Wing, and the impact it has on the local communities. 8 Wing and its military members are the foundation of Quinte West, which includes not only the service men and women but their families. I am extremely proud and privileged to be a part of 8 Wing and the Royal Canadian Air Force, with a keen focus on providing support and stability to our military families in the local community. I look forward to fulfilling my role and duties as Honorary Colonel for the 426 (Transport) Training Squadron.”
Honorary Colonel Gregory Parker, 426 (Training) Transport Squadron Honorary Colonel
“The role of the Honorary Colonel is to be a solid bridge to the community, to raise the profile of the Squadron, and to act as an advisor. Honorary Colonel Parker, as a pillar of the local community is the ideal person who will support Squadron members and their families. Welcome to the Thunderbird family, Honorary Colonel Parker! A big thanks to Honorary Colonel Vaughan for her exceptional dedication and unparalleled support, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic!”
Lieutenant-Colonel Gregor Jackson, Commanding Officer of 426 (Training) Transport Squadron
