[Pilot DAR]

CBC news is reporting a Canadian Armed Forces Chinook ( I presume Canadian Armed Forces) is down, perhaps in the Ottawa river near Petawwa Ontario, I hope it's a minor incident....

From the news link:

Maj.-Gen. Sylvain Menard says it was a "normal regular night training event" at the time of the crash, with two pilots and two crew members in the back.

No few of my colleagues ended up losing their lives during "normal training event" flights over the years.
RIP. ​​​​​​​
