FRYEBURG, Maine — Once again, big yellow Cormorant CH-149 helicopters from the Royal Canadian Air Force are flying through the area mountains and basing at the Eastern Slopes Regional Airport. Over the weekend, the airport hosted two of the helicopters at once for the first time, and on Monday a helicopter flew to Mount Washington and back.
This is the third time in four years that crews from 413 Wing Greenwood, based in Nova Scotia have come to the region.
