Ten retired CT 155 Hawk jets were transported over two nights Monday and Tuesday from Collingwood Regional Airport, on Concession 6 west of Stayner, to Base Borden. Due to an inadequate runway, the jets had to be towed down Airport Road to Mansfield and across to the base. Spectators lined the street to catch sight of the convoy. On Monday night a vehicle belonging to a contracted traffic control company was involved in a collision with a civilian vehicle, delaying the transfer by about one hour. Military personnel report the five jets arrived at the base by 4 a.m.
