Two military members were in hospital Thursday evening after a search and rescue helicopter crashed at 9 Wing Gander air force base in central Newfoundland, officials said.
The injured were among six crew members on board the CH-149 Cormorant aircraft when the afternoon crash occurred, the Royal Canadian Air Force said in a series of tweets. The helicopter was conducting “hovering manoeuvres” at the Gander airport, which is next to the airbase, the tweets said.
