Where did CBSA get those BlackHawks....
...so quickly, and who is operating them? C-FHKS. Pretty quick training.

Training? Blackhawks can be flown entirely by your sense of self satisfaction.

A very misleading thread title as non of the UH-60’s are owned or operated by CBSA. Power by the hour operated by a third party private sector contractor? -yes.
The amount of disinformation on Avcanada lately has truly reached epic proportions.

I don’t think this was intentionally misleading, I think they genuinely were asking how these Blackhawks were spooled up so fast and I admit the thought crossed my mind as well.TeePeeCreeper wrote: ↑Thu Feb 13, 2025 9:45 pm A very misleading thread title as non of the UH-60’s are owned or operated by CBSA.

Makes sense that they are “chartered”, I saw one on the news the has RCMP on the side and I thought to myself that I didn’t realize they had those.
Re: Where did CBSA get those BlackHawks....
Curious if they are flown by contract pilots. My understanding was that any aircraft operated by or in support of the RCMP had to be piloted by Air Service Members.

I highly suspect so. I don’t think Canada has Blackhawk type rated heli pilots just waiting for a dry lease to come in.
Re: Where did CBSA get those BlackHawks....
So Canada is paying foreigners to stop foreigners from crossing our border into a foreign country.

Hel transport is a Canadian helicopter company.
Re: Where did CBSA get those BlackHawks....
They sure are Canadian pilots.
