History

RCAF Station Neepawa was originally opened by the Royal Air Force on 30 March 1942 near the community of Neepawa, Manitoba. On the 24th of August of that year it was taken over by the Moncton Flying Club. RCAF Station Neepawa was originally home to No. 35 Elementary Flying Training School (No. 35 E.F.T.S.). On 30 Jan 1944, No. 35 E.F.T.S. was re-designated No. 26 E.F.T.S. RCAF Station Neepawa was closed on 25 August 1944.

The Station was constructed as a component of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan[1]
