Mr. Speaker, in response to the hon. member's question, on my recent visit to Shearwater, while I was being told that the Sea King helicopters were in the best condition they have ever been in 30 years, cranes were lifting them off the flight decks of the frigates.
Canadians might recall the words of a Canadian pilot who was a trainer in Sea King helicopters. He was quoted in the Globe and Mail : ``You only fly a Sea King as far as you want to fall''.
