The CC-150 Polaris is a multi-purpose, long-range aircraft used for military passenger, freight or medical transport. Two of the Royal Canadian Air Force’s CC-150s are equipped for air-to-air refuelling, and each can carry enough fuel to ferry four CF-188 Hornet fighter aircraft across the Atlantic Ocean.

The Polaris can also transport government officials and foreign dignitaries. It has carried the Prime Minister, Governor General and members of the Royal Family.
