RIP my fellow countrymen. I was just at CFB Petawawa last weekend.

Canadians were aghast in April 2020 when the RCAF lost a CH-148 Cyclone and six CAF personnel that seemingly flew itself into the sea, leading to the entire fleet being grounded and more than a year of formal investigations.
In 2022 we lost a RCAF CH-149 Cormorant. Thankfully all six aboard survived. The investigation concluded that “during the final clockwise hover turn sequence, the pilot flying's seat unexpectedly descended to its lowest position.” I wonder what caused this Chinook crash.

The investigation into the deaths of two military personnel near Garrison Petawawa on Tuesday is expected to be a months-long inquiry, including a team of 16 investigators that will work at the site for up to two weeks collecting evidence.
