This year’s attendee list includes a dynamic and knowledgeable line up presenters from both military and commercial Sikorsky SEA KING /S61 helicopter fleets. These include the Canadian Department of National Defence; the United States Navy; the German and Australian Navies; the United Kingdom Ministry of Defence; the Royal Malaysian Airforce; the Tunisian Airforce and representatives of Vector Aerospaces’ Canadian and United Kingdom-based operations. As well, the event is also drawing appreciable interest from commercial S61 helicopter operators and specialized equipment suppliers from North America and overseas.

SEA KING fleet.
