The Canadian Forces Depot (CFD) at Mountainview belongs to Trenton-based ATESS. It is used for storage and regeneration of aircraft. However, most of the modern aircraft are to be found at the ATESS facilities at Trenton. Lately, many aircraft were put in open storage again. An austere landing zone was constructed to train Hercules crews of Trenton based 8 Wing, named LZ Allen.
Apart from the storage depot the base also houses Air Cadets with their distinctive yellow Bellanca Scout tugs and Schweizer gliders.
The base has a couple of disused runways and the cadets land on the grass parallel to the main runway. Many aircraft are parked outside and can be identified with last or early light.
Take highway 62 southward from Belleville, this runs past the base.
