Default CH-149 Cormorant

Just to give you another idea of what is going on here in Comox.

The other asset of 442 Sqn here is the CH-149 Cormoran.

It is a purposely built Search and Rescue helicopter acquired by Canada about 12 years ago.

During a recent training flight ( yesterday in fact ) I took a few pictures.

First we see the asset on the tarmac . Second we see the very happy young pilot , Capt Y. P. who is from of my part of Canada .

Yann still cannot believe he is being paid to have so much fun !

Then on the other we see the flight engineer ( FE ) peering out the side door watching for obstacles below and to the side before we land on Texada Island BC. I still can't believe he would get out the side door of a moving helicopter to do that !
