The Royal Canadian Air Force's fleet of CH-147F Chinook helicopters will resume flying activities today, three days after two crew members died in a helicopter crash near Garrison Petawawa.
The 450 Tactical Squadron, based at CFB Petawawa, returns to duty as the investigation continues into Tuesday's crash.
The Department of National Defence has said a CH-147F Chinook was participating in a night training exercise when it crashed into the Ottawa River just after 12 a.m. Tuesday. Two pilots and two crew members were onboard the helicopter at the time of the crash. Defence Minister Anita Anand said Wednesday that the 450 Tactical Squadron would pause operations out of respect for the victims.
