Greetings everyone,

It's now official. The 416 and 441 CF-18 squadrons at 4 Wing Cold Lake 
have now been stood down, and the 409 Tactical Fighter Squadron has now 
been stood up. The official ceremonies were yesterday. Here's a press 
release on it:

The nickname for the 409 squadron is Night Hawk, so one would expect 
Nighthawk to be one of the callsigns used. I'm not sure if any of the old 
static callsigns from 416 or 441 will be used for 409 aircraft, but I 
doubt it.
