Moose Jaw Air Vice Marshal C. M. McEwen Airport (CYMJ) is a substantial military and civil aerodrome at Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, distinguished by a full ILS-equipped main runway and two further runways of very different lengths. Its size and layout, together with its historical associations, make it a field of real interest to visiting VFR and IFR pilots alike.
CYMJ, named for Air Vice Marshal C. M. McEwen, serves Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan as a combined military and civil airfield, forming part of the Canadian Forces Base Moose Jaw complex. It is a medium-sized aerodrome with no scheduled airline service, but its long, hard-surfaced runways and instrument approach capability give it the character of a major training and operational base rather than a small local strip.
The airfield lies at coordinates 50.3303 N, 105.559 W, at an elevation of 1883 feet, on the outskirts of Moose Jaw in southern Saskatchewan, Canada.
CYMJ has three physical runways. The main runway, 11L/29R, is 8307 feet long, has a hard surface, is lit, and is served by an ILS. A second parallel runway, 11R/29L, is 7270 feet long, hard-surfaced and lit but without an instrument approach. A shorter crosswind runway, 03/21, measures 2913 feet, is also hard-surfaced and lit.
Radio services at CYMJ include a control tower on 126.2 MHz and ground control on 121.8 MHz, with an ATIS broadcast on 25.78 MHz. Clearance delivery is available on 135.3 MHz, and departure and one arrival frequency are shared on 119 MHz, with additional arrival frequencies on 28.94 MHz and 38.13 MHz. Operations traffic is handled on 23.01 MHz, with a further PMSV (pilot-to-metsat voice) frequency on 34.46 MHz, and a dedicated Wing Operations channel is also listed. The field's main runway, 11L/29R, is equipped with an ILS.
The airfield's associated tagging identifies it as a former British Commonwealth Air Training Plan (BCATP) station, reflecting its role in wartime flying training, and it continues to be identified with Canadian Forces Base Moose Jaw. The airport's name commemorates Air Vice Marshal C. M. McEwen.
CYMJ remains an active military and civil field associated with Canadian Forces Base Moose Jaw, classified as a medium airport with no scheduled airline service. Its long, lit, hard-surfaced runways, including an ILS-equipped main runway, continue to support both training and general aviation movements.
