Thank you for your recent query on RCAF.info. I know very little about the current situation, condition or ownership of what was the former RCAF Aerodrome at Dog Creek. My understanding is this wartime aerodrome was abandoned by the RCAF likely shortly after the Second World War. In order to ascertain the appropriateness of a field trip to this location it would be best to find out who the current land owners are and approach them for formal permission. There is likely very little remaining of the former aerodrome.
If you are able to arrange for a visit, I would love to see some photos of anything that remains from the sites RCAF history.
