@ Halifax, Canada
October 2025
While departing Halifax Harbour, our cruise ship was overflown repeatedly by helicopters of the Royal Canadian Air Force. Here is the best image I captured during one particularly close pass. The Sikorsky CH-148 Cyclone is a multi-role maritime helicopter used by the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) to support the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN). Introduced in 2018, the Cyclone is a military variant of the civilian Sikorsky S-92, replacing the venerable CH-124 Sea King. 28 were delivered, with one being lost in a 2020 crash.
