In Episode 27 of The Pilot Project Podcast, RCAF pilot Paul Goddard, who flew the CH-149 Cormorant at 413 Transport and Rescue Squadron, shares what it’s like to help save a life, or what it takes to hoist a SARTech onto a ship in rough seas, at night, in a storm.
Goddard has flown search and rescue out of Goose Bay, Labrador, and Greenwood, N.S. He has conducted many rescues and SAR missions, and has had to learn some tough lessons along the line. Now, he’s learning to instruct helicopter pilots to get their wings at 3 Canadian Forces Flying Training School in Portage la Prairie, Man.
You can’t save them all. Sometimes a mission outcome will not be what you want. Sometimes you’ll be terrified of the conditions. Hear about all these things and many more on this latest episode.
