N1 Posted April 26, 2022 Report Share Posted April 26, 2022 Great to see someone has finally figured out how to get the CH-47D into Canada to operate. Now, let's get those Blackhawks in! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
212wrench Posted April 26, 2022 Report Share Posted April 26, 2022 Worked alongside the Columbia ones in the States on fires. They always showed up in pairs. They have to, one is always u/s. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diaper_Pin Posted April 27, 2022 Report Share Posted April 27, 2022 I'll take a wild guess. It's operating under NAFTA with Canadian crews. Though I'm not sure how they get around operating a restricted category ship in Canada? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heliduck Posted April 29, 2022 Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 I hope this doesn’t expand into general ex mil aircraft use for utility work. Australia has a UH1/Garlick fly to bits nearly every year, Canada has about 4 x the mediums as Australia so that would extrapolate to a significant increase in events. Operators with commercial variants would also struggle to compete against a cheaper ex mil machine when pax weren’t required. Significant industry disruptor if that was allowed. I hope it doesn’t happen, but if it does there’s a few cheap blackhawks on the market down south! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
