Looks like another airframe sinks in the drink. 23 down, 27 to go. Well....at least a replacement is around the corner.

And it's gonna be a big corner.

who said lost? Only 16m, a runover with the hairdryer and all will be well :ouch:
glad to see the crew got out.

Yea...I know what you mean. I also heard that the Cormorants have been moved from Trenton, and are being used for spare parts in Comox. Cracks in the rotor hubs. I wonder how our British friends are making out with their Merlin airframes??

Glad to hear they're all OK. Athabaskan was out in the South Coast Ex Areas with us a week or so ago. I don't recall the flight getting up on any tactical serials though.
No serious problems with 101 TR hubs of late, the replacement Flexop is going out to 100 hrs but they are getting inspected by 'scope every AF.
