On 27 Feb 2003 it crashed onto the flight deck of HMCS Iroquois during an emergency recovery after an engine failure. It rolled onto its side, spilling its fuel plus 2200 rounds of 7.62mm ammunition. Rebuilt as a training aid and returned to the RCAF in December 2004. This photo is copyright © Tim Martin, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
