Anyone know if there is an Airforce Kitshop in Borden or Trenton?

Hi, just wondering if anyone knows if there is an Airforce Kitshop in either of the title locations?

Depending on what you need, you can try the Gift Shop at the Air Force Museum in Trenton.  (Located where the old Yukon Lodge used to stand.)  Across the street is the Canex.

Thanks!  I'm looking for a windbreaker (the type you can wear with the 3Bs) and an air operations officer hat badge (one of those slick ones with the metal bird like they have in Shearwater).

What about the Canex?

I'm posted to Toronto right now so the closest CANEX is Trenton.

Do you (or anyone else) know which badge can be worn with what? 
    >>Is the "Metal Albatross" the one for the forage cap?  What about the all-metal one?

Actually, it would be Borden.

But it's still probably still easier for you to do the online thing.

From what I have seen, the AF.040.D "Metal Albatross" could be worn on the wedge.  There is another hat badge with a plastic albatross that slightly protrudes out that I have seen worn on the forage cap.  The full metal one looks cool but I have never seen that one before.  Take note none of this information is not official and for all I know it could be totally wrong but people are wearing them so I don't know... ???

It's an eagle. Blame the origin of the still-ongoing controversy on the Navy, but it's an eagle.

I wear the woven capbadge with metal eagle on all headdress that requires a badge. I do not like the all-woven mylar-gold one which, in comparison, looks chintzy.

If by "full-metal" you mean the enamelled metal one, that was the norm for everyone until the woven style was authorized for officers after which it was worn by NCMs and some officers too cheap to by the woven ones. After the woven rayon one came out, it disappeared.
