@Welshy86 Actually they are Traffic techs (the guys with the red patch on their arm) working in a MAMS (Mobile Air Movements Sections) team. Loadmasters are also traffic tech that have received additional training to be part of aircrew and fly with the C17, C130 or C150

@ssgtakeo It's a lot to remember sometimes. We can go from an Air Force base working on planes, with passengers etc, to an another places where you may spend time in the field, setting up rail moves, shipping/receiving etc. There is a lot of variety in our trade which is nice. With us to become a loadie you have to be QL5 qualified traffic tech (equal to a journeyman) and do some medicals, basic sere etc before even being selected for loadmaster. It's a lot of business.

@BaconTV123 as a CF Pilot it takes a long time (4 years+) and no guarantee of air frame but worth a shot.

That's the Canadian designation for this aircraft. Being that this is a Canadian owned model it is the correct name for the aircraft. I appreciate the input though.
