Nope. The Air Force is in charge of all flying operations in the Canadian Forces (CF). We have CH-124 Sea Kings aboard our vessels, but AF personelle fly, maintain, and co-ordinate them. It's the same for our CH-146 Griffon Helo's. The Army uses them, but the AF is who flies them.
I'm a Pilot, but that's more directed toward Civilian flight. I got my wings throught Cadets, but I can't fly military aircraft because:
a) I haven't done Military Flight Training; and
b) I have glasses, which prohibits me from doing a).
It was a good question though. I'm happy to give people from the States (or other Nations) any info about the CF if you ask.
