It was operated and administered by the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF). HistoryWorld War IIThe Station hosted No. 33 Elementary Flying Training Schools (EFTS). The school was opened by the Royal Air Force on 5 January 1942. The Aero Club of BC took over operation of the School 25 May 1942 and the school was closed 14 January 1944.[1] Aerodrome InformationIn approximately 1942 the aerodrome was listed as RCAF Aerodrome - Caron, Saskatchewan at {{coord|50|28|N|105|49|W|region:CA-SK}} with a variation of 18 degrees east and elevation of {{Convert|1875|ft|abbr=on}}. The aerodrome was listed with three runways as follows: [2]
A review of Google Maps on 10 June 2018 shows that none of the former aerodrome remains. It appears that the old taxiway and 13/31 runway are now occupied by housing and the remaining runways have been completely reclaimed for agriculture. The coordinates from the c.1942 publication appear to be slightly north of the actual location of the former airfield a more likely coordinate would be {{coord|50.461395|N|105.811784|W|region:CA-SK}} based on the drawings in the reference.
