First Appearance (Mention): Alpha Flight v1 #1, (Last incarnation as a super-team): Alpha Flight #76
Last Appearance as a super-team: Alpha Flight #90
Creator (Original): John Byrne
(Last version): James D. Hudnall

        Gamma Flight started out as the second tier training team in James Hudson's Department H. When Department H was dissolved for the first time by the Federal government, this incarnation of Gamma Flight ended as well.

        Gamma Flight was resurrected when Alpha Flight was operating temporarily as guests of the municipal government in Edmonton, Alberta. The Feds, irked at the notion of an Alpha Flight they didn't control, began creating a new super-team to take Alpha's place on the national stage. This team became the new Gamma Flight.

        Unknown to the government their decisions in the super-human arena were being influenced by the being known as Llan the Sorcerer. Llan desired conflict between Canadian super-humans to further his plans, and so it suited his purposes that a new super-team be created.

        After an investigation into the "Sorcerer affair" Canada disbanded Gamma Flight as a team of super-human operatives. The name was then used to collectively refer to the research, design and support staff at the new Department H until Alpha Flight's suspension and H's third shutdown.

        Since Department H became active for the fourth time there has been no mention of Gamma Flight. The name has apparently fallen into disuse.
