Alpha Flight was originally the idea of James Hudson, a final extension of his Flight program of mutant registration and training. He saw it as a mixed group of mutant and human specialists, supported by advanced or esoteric technology and developments from various [[Department H]] programs, designed to respond to strange or preternatural events. Hudson and his wife Heather had worked on the program for years, trying to convince both the Director of Department H and the Canadian Defense Ministry. It was only after the success of the Flight program in general that they reluctantly agreed to fund a test initiative of the Alpha level.

==Flight Program==
  
−
Alpha Flight was formed, using the best of the Beta Flight graduates they could find. The original team was dispatched in several missions, mainly natural where their powers could lend powerful assistance to local authorities, or mutant related crisis. While the group generally garnered positive media coverage and a record of success, there were serious flaws in the design. Most of the small team did not come from a military or police background, and their training in direct combat situations was badly lacking.

The Flight Program, overseen by [[Department H]], is the Canadian government's response to the mutant "problem".

Following the events of Liberty Island, there was a strong call to create a group that could actively respond to a threat like [[Magneto]], and the current group was unable to confidently make that claim. While their operational prowess was highly increased by the inclusion of former [[X-Men]] Wolverine and Rogue, the obvious limitations had become apparent to all, especially with the active efforts of Department H’s Director, [[Malcolm Colcord]], to undermine their group. Colcord wanted more control over any kind of active group of operatives, in case they compromise his secret initiatives accidentally.

Alpha Flight was finally disbanded in late 2005, and their personnel transferred to other programs in Department H. However, Heather Hudson continued to stress the need for a program which could serve the needs that Alpha Flight was supposed to address. In mid-2006, both MacDonald and Colcord agreed to revisit the Alpha Flight program under a new structure and design, focusing on developing answers to the prior shortcomings and sending Garrison Kane to study the operations of the only successful example of that type of team, the X-Men.

Flight Program

The Flight Program, overseen by Department H, is the Canadian government's response to the mutant "problem".

Gamma Flight

A training program for mutant youth, implemented as part of the Canadian health system, rather than the military or judicial systems. Training is compulsory, but once reliable control is achieved, the participants are not required to participate further unless they wish.

Following M-Day, the program is under political review.


Beta Flight

Following the basic powers control training of Gamma Flight, young mutants are offered the chance to train and work with Beta Flight. One of the major elements of Beta Flight is disaster relief in Canada. Still quite new, it maintains a database of powers and locations across the country, matching powers and locations to specific disasters. For example, when a forest fire gets out of control in BC, they look for Beta Flight mutants in the area who have applicable powers to assist. They get paid a small monthly stipend, like being in the National Guard or similar, and 99% of the time, just live normal lives.

Following M-Day, the program was shut down for assessment of the mutant threat.


Alpha Flight

Alpha Flight was originally the idea of James Hudson, a final extension of his Flight program of mutant registration and training. He saw it as a mixed group of mutant and human specialists, supported by advanced or esoteric technology and developments from various Department H programs, designed to respond to strange or preternatural events. Hudson and his wife Heather had worked on the program for years, trying to convince both the Director of Department H and the Canadian Defense Ministry. However, while the Flight program in general was a success, Alpha never got past the theoretical stages.
