FRYEBURG, Maine — For the fourth time in the past five years, helicopter crews from the Royal Canadian Air Force’s 14 Wing Greenwood, based out of Nova Scotia, have come to the Eastern Slopes Regional Airport for training in the skies over Mount Washington Valley last and this week.

They even did training touchdowns on windy Mount Washington Tuesday afternoon, with wind speeds of 50 knots (about 57 mph) out of the Northwest — just part of their training in the mountainous local terrain.
