Aviation Photojournal - RCAF National SAREX 2024 - Comox, BC Issue Number 35 - December 2024 | Page 2

As we approach the 10 year anniversary of Aviation Photojournal, it's the ability to put together issues like this one that keeps this endeavor fresh and exciting. APJ was exclusively invited to embed with the participants of Canada's National SAREX, its largest in over 10 years.

From September 9 to 13, 2024, 19 Wing Comox hosted the massive exercise and APJ was granted unprecedented access, spending countless hours with the participants including over 30 hours in the air. From glaciers to remote mountain lakes, we were made to feel like a part of the team and for that we are so grateful.

It is our great honor to bring you our coverage of the RCAF's 2024 National SAREX! Enjoy!
