The station was located near Claresholm, Alberta, Canada. HistoryWorld War IINo. 15 Service Flying Training School (SFTS) was opened on 9 June 1941, and closed on 30 March 1945.[1] Ansons and Cessna Cranes were the aircraft used, and its relief airfields were RCAF Woodhouse, a few kilometers east at {{Coord|49|59|24|N|113|26|51|W|type:airport_region:CA-ON|name=RCAF Woodhouse}}, and RCAF Pulteney, a few kilometers north. No. 2 Flying Instructor School (FIS) opened in April 1942 but closed September 1942 and moved to Vulcan. Student pilots at No.2 FIS flew Tiger Moths and Cessna Cranes.
