HALIFAX — Two of the Canadian military’s CH-148 Cyclone helicopters soared over Halifax harbour this morning, days before one of the maritime helicopters heads out on its first international deployment.
Military spokesman Jason Miller says the fully operational Cyclone will deploy aboard the frigate HMCS Ville de Quebec on Wednesday with an air detachment crew from 423 Maritime Helicopter Squadron, based at 12 Wing Shearwater in Halifax.
The Halifax-class warship is slated to relieve HMCS St. John’s in Operation Reassurance, an ongoing multinational NATO mission in the Mediterranean.
