N1 16 Posted April 26 Report Share Posted April 26 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 post Share on other sites

Diaper_Pin 101 Posted April 27 Report Share Posted April 27 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 post Share on other sites

Heliduck 82 Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 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 post Share on other sites
