There has been discussions that one of the new RCAF Cyclone helicopters will make an appearance at the CANSEC defence trade show in Ottawa at the end of May.

If approval is received for the aircraft to make an appearance, the Sikorsky helicopter will be flown in to the EY Centre before the show begins May 29 and then remain as a static display.

At last year’s CANSEC a civilian variant, the S-92, was on static display outside the EY Centre.

The Royal Canadian Air Force has been highlighting CH-148 Cyclone fly-pasts at public events, such as at a football game and the Battle of the Atlantic ceremony in early May in Halifax.
