- The CH-149 Cormorant (a variant of the Leonardo AW101) is the premier Search and Rescue helicopter operated by the Royal Canadian Air Force. There are currently 13 in service across Canada. These aircraft are soon to be upgraded, and the fleet size will grow to at least 16 aircraft.
In this video you will get an appreciation for the Cormorant and its capabilities. Thanks to Capt. Stanway of 442 Transport and Rescue Squadron for his time and kindness.

To go from basic infantry to SAR tech is an accomplishment, to then switch to pilot is unheard of. Kudos to this man on his dedication and service to our country.
I was impressed too! Super nice guy! I was thankful for the time he spent with me.
Oh Canada👌👍Keep Our Land Strong and Free🙏
Oh yeah, Leonardo makes neat kit. Wish I could fly!
The last couple of rescues in the Juan de Fuca straight were done by the American coast guard, in clearly Canadian waters. I get that you want the first responder, whoever can get there more quickly. However our guys need the practice and those experiences in bumpy waters don't happen every day. Technical rescue is one of those skills you need to be practicing every week to maintain proficiency. I love the idea of our Canadian military being in involved in this.
These things are big, loud, & unmistakble when they are flying around here. One just looks up, sees them, and then wonders "who got themselves in trouble this time?".
LOL... I think the same when I see them.
Used to live near Port Renfrew on V.I. and saw these helo's all the time, like you said they will never sneak up on someone, very loud...
@@frasersgrove4838 Yup, loud, and in my opinion, cool too! 🙂
My office is not far from the airport and base in Gander. When these big bird go over…or even near the building you sure know what it is. You can hear it coming a long way off.
Always cool to see! =)
Hey Kent, did you get the car running?
I still think Coast Guard should do search and rescue mission
They do have a mandate for Search and Rescue, but that's not the primary mission of their big ships or helicopter fleet. It would take a whole different crewing and training model to make that happen (for the Canadian Coast Guard helicopters in particular).
This man is looking thick! He must eat a ton of meat. ❤
