CH-124 Sea King Historical Thread

Very possible just what I am hearing from peers on upcoming deployers.

Your peers are making shit up.

Okie dokie.

Your mention of sustainment is an interesting from my stand point.

I watched and participated in this going from what we had with the SK to what we have now for the Cyclone. I'm not sure if your talking about the adoption of ISSC.

The ISS contract was insisted upon by the GOC; it’s not the only problem but it certainly isn’t helping.

The bigger problem was asking for the “best” without support (or funding) for it. Over and above the basics of unfunded spares, where does the support for tactics and training development come from, and without those you can’t build experience.

CRCN is pretty blunt in his assessment of the helo and its juice V squeeze metric.

The current CRCN, and indeed the RCN as a whole, has, in my opinion, demonstrated a lack of support to and education in Naval air operations for a long time.

Food for thought. Thank you.

Can I ask where this comes from ? Or what makes you say this ? At the deck plate level (tactical), the ship absolutely revolves on putting the helo airborne, supporting it and working with it.

The mechanical issues with the Cyclone are not with out substantiation.

Tactical crew work does not necessarily translate into professional development to fully understand and leverage naval air.
