Recently a friend of mine, who is now a Cormorant helicopter pilot, was selected to participate in the chopper demo for the Royals.
They did a Search and Rescue (SAR) demo which consisted of 7 people in the water. The coast guard rescued 6 of them then the Cormorant came in and hoisted the last one out.
Then they flew to the Summerside airport, shutdown and waited for the royals to arrive by car. This is when they were able to take a group shot and shake their hands.
What was also cool is that Kate flew the helicopter. One of the pics show her in the pilot's seat. Here is more on the story from the Air Force web site.
