HALIFAX -- Canada's fleet of aging Sea King helicopters is being allowed into the air again after one was damaged this week.
The Royal Canadian Air Force grounded the fleet after one Sea King helicopter tipped forward and smashed its rotor blades on the tarmac at CFB Shearwater in Halifax.
The air force released a statement on Friday saying that there are no airworthiness issues affecting the other Sea Kings.
"Our confidence in the Sea King remains high and our crew members are looking forward to resuming the many important missions they conduct every day," Lt.-Col. James Hawthorne, Commander of 12 Wing Shearwater, said in the statement.
