The RCAF maintained aircraft such as the <a href="/wiki/Lockheed_Lodestar" class="mw-redirect" title="Lockheed Lodestar">Lockheed Lodestar</a>, <a href="/wiki/Canadair_North_Star" title="Canadair North Star">Canadair North Star</a>, <a href="/wiki/Canadair_CL-66" class="mw-redirect" title="Canadair CL-66">Canadair CL-66</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Canadair_CL-44" title="Canadair CL-44">Canadair CL-44</a>-6 until, following the 1968 unification of the country's three armed forces branches into the <a href="/wiki/Canadian_Forces" class="mw-redirect" title="Canadian Forces">Canadian Forces</a>, long range VIP transport was carried out using a modified <a href="/wiki/Boeing_707" title="Boeing 707">Boeing 707</a> designated as the <a href="/wiki/CC-137_Husky" class="mw-redirect" title="CC-137 Husky">CC-137 Husky</a> and short range VIP transport used various combat fixed and rotary wing aircraft. Dedicated VIP transport aircraft did not enter the Canadian Forces until the early 1980s, when 12 <a href="/wiki/Bombardier_Challenger_600" class="mw-redirect" title="Bombardier Challenger 600">CL-600S Challenger</a> business jets were purchased by the Governor General-<a href="/wiki/Queen-in-Council" class="mw-redirect" title="Queen-in-Council">in-Council</a> from <a href="/wiki/Canadair" title="Canadair">Canadair</a>, which were thereafter given the designations CC-144, CE-144, and CX-144, and painted in the contemporary red and white livery of the Canadian Forces. These jets flew with <a href="/wiki/No._414_Squadron_RCAF" class="mw-redirect" title="No. 414 Squadron RCAF">414 "Black Knight" Squadron</a> at <a href="/wiki/CFB_North_Bay" title="CFB North Bay">CFB North Bay</a> until July 1992, and with <a href="/wiki/No._434_Squadron_RCAF" class="mw-redirect" title="No. 434 Squadron RCAF">434 "Blue Nose" Squadron</a> at <a href="/wiki/CFB_Greenwood" title="CFB Greenwood">CFB Greenwood</a> until May 2000, when eight aircraft were either sold or retired, the remaining two being transferred to <a href="/wiki/No._412_Squadron_RCAF" class="mw-redirect" title="No. 412 Squadron RCAF">412 Transport Squadron</a> for dedicated executive transport, where the livery was changed to a dark Air Force blue. </p><p>At times, the use of executive air transport has been a contentious issue. In 2002, the Governor General-in-Council, on the advice of Prime Minister <a href="/wiki/Jean_Chr%C3%A9tien" title="Jean Chrétien">Jean Chrétien</a>, purchased two additional Challenger jets for exclusive royal, viceregal, and ministerial transport. Use of these planes by <a href="/wiki/Minister_of_the_Crown" title="Minister of the Crown">ministers of the Crown</a> came under heavy criticism, partly due to the high cost of operation—approximately <a href="/wiki/Canadian_dollar" title="Canadian dollar">CAD</a>$11,000 per hour<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>—as well as questions over prioritisation of other military aircraft procurement. Government ministers have typically explained that the use of the Challenger jets is necessary, due to time constraints and/or security issues. Also, Governor General <a href="/wiki/Adrienne_Clarkson" title="Adrienne Clarkson">Adrienne Clarkson</a> had used a <a href="/wiki/Air_charter" title="Air charter">chartered</a> aircraft to fly from Ottawa to her cottage in <a href="/wiki/Muskoka,_Ontario" class="mw-redirect" title="Muskoka, Ontario">Muskoka, Ontario</a>, and it was later revealed that Governor General <a href="/wiki/Micha%C3%ABlle_Jean" title="Michaëlle Jean">Michaëlle Jean</a> was flown to <a href="/wiki/The_Bahamas" title="The Bahamas">The Bahamas</a> on a Canadian Forces Challenger. Both times, the press reports of these actions brought criticism towards the vicereines from some corners; however, the governor general's mode of transport is directed by the <a href="/wiki/Royal_Canadian_Mounted_Police" title="Royal Canadian Mounted Police">Royal Canadian Mounted Police</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Present_arrangements">Present arrangements</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Royal_Canadian_Air_Force_VIP_aircraft&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Present arrangements"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Airbus_CC-150_Polaris_at_Boryspil.jpeg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f2/Airbus_CC-150_Polaris_at_Boryspil.jpeg/220px-Airbus_CC-150_Polaris_at_Boryspil.jpeg" decoding="async" width="220" height="147" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f2/Airbus_CC-150_Polaris_at_Boryspil.jpeg/330px-Airbus_CC-150_Polaris_at_Boryspil.jpeg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f2/Airbus_CC-150_Polaris_at_Boryspil.jpeg/440px-Airbus_CC-150_Polaris_at_Boryspil.jpeg 2x" data-file-width="1600" data-file-height="1066" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/CC-150_Polaris" class="mw-redirect" title="CC-150 Polaris">CC-150 Polaris</a> No. 001 in 2014</figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Airbus_CC-150_Polaris_at_Yellowknife_Airport.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d6/Airbus_CC-150_Polaris_at_Yellowknife_Airport.jpg/220px-Airbus_CC-150_Polaris_at_Yellowknife_Airport.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d6/Airbus_CC-150_Polaris_at_Yellowknife_Airport.jpg/330px-Airbus_CC-150_Polaris_at_Yellowknife_Airport.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d6/Airbus_CC-150_Polaris_at_Yellowknife_Airport.jpg/440px-Airbus_CC-150_Polaris_at_Yellowknife_Airport.jpg 2x" data-file-width="3072" data-file-height="2304" /></a><figcaption>Royal Canadian Air Force CC-150 Polaris at <a href="/wiki/Yellowknife_Airport" title="Yellowknife Airport">Yellowknife Airport</a>, transporting <a href="/wiki/Prince_William,_Duke_of_Cambridge" class="mw-redirect" title="Prince William, Duke of Cambridge">Prince William, Duke of Cambridge</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Catherine,_Duchess_of_Cambridge" class="mw-redirect" title="Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge">Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge</a>, July 2011</figcaption></figure> <p>All dedicated VIP transport aircraft in the Canadian Forces are operated by <a href="/wiki/No._437_Squadron_RCAF" class="mw-redirect" title="No. 437 Squadron RCAF">437 Transport Squadron</a> and <a href="/wiki/No._412_Squadron_RCAF" class="mw-redirect" title="No. 412 Squadron RCAF">412 Transport Squadron</a>. <a href="/wiki/Flight_attendant" title="Flight attendant">Attendants</a> on flights operated by these squadrons are select volunteers from various services in the Canadian Forces and serve in their posting for two or three years;
