00:07.180 --> 00:09.069
Good day . I'm Lieutenant Colonel

00:09.069 --> 00:10.980
Frederick Gannett from Buckingham

00:10.980 --> 00:13.130
Quebec . I'm the current commanding

00:13.130 --> 00:15.540
officer of 43 helicopter operational

00:15.540 --> 00:18.780
train squad . Our unit is the Wolf Pack

00:18.790 --> 00:21.460
out of new Brunswick and currently here

00:21.460 --> 00:23.460
on exercise Wolf South , we brought

00:23.460 --> 00:25.735
about 42 person to support the X . So

00:25.735 --> 00:28.955
we operate the Ch 1 46 Griffin which is

00:28.955 --> 00:31.825
a Canadian ized version of bail for 12

00:31.825 --> 00:34.103
helicopter , which is not unlike the U .

00:34.103 --> 00:36.915
H one Huey that you operate were mostly

00:36.915 --> 00:39.305
conducting our flight instructor course

00:39.315 --> 00:42.295
for both the pilots and our flight

00:42.295 --> 00:44.660
engineers . We arrived here in mid

00:44.660 --> 00:46.604
january . Our current plan sees us

00:46.604 --> 00:48.716
operating for about 3.5 weeks . So we

00:48.716 --> 00:51.200
chose to do the training here for a

00:51.200 --> 00:53.200
very of reason . And first of all ,

00:53.200 --> 00:55.200
working with international partners

00:55.200 --> 00:57.311
like the United States is key for the

00:57.311 --> 00:59.422
RC . F . To be able to operate and it

00:59.422 --> 01:01.200
helps us to connect some of our

01:01.200 --> 01:03.089
readiness training and also we're

01:03.089 --> 01:05.256
leveraging the arguably better weather

01:05.256 --> 01:07.256
here than in Canada at this time of

01:07.256 --> 01:09.422
year . We're able to find efficiencies

01:09.422 --> 01:11.644
and actually complete our training much

01:11.644 --> 01:13.811
faster than if we were back home . The

01:13.811 --> 01:13.040
folks here have been really

01:13.040 --> 01:15.096
accommodating everyone's been really

01:15.096 --> 01:17.400
helpful again . We're hoping we can in

01:17.400 --> 01:19.150
the future leverage again this

01:19.150 --> 01:21.880
opportunity and we're very thankful for

01:21.880 --> 01:22.380
