Episode 98: The King:Flying the CH-124 Sea King and life at sea with the Royal Canadian Navy Part 1 - Niels Olson
About this episode
Captain Niels Olson shares his journey to becoming a military pilot and discusses life at sea with the CH-124 Sea King.
Captain Niels Olson didn’t grow up dreaming of becoming a military pilot. In fact, while living next to CFB Chilliwack as a kid, he remembers watching soldiers train and thinking, “I’m never doing that.” In Part 1, we cover his early life, joining under CEOTP, the long training pipeline, and his first exposure to maritime helicopter operations before even starting flight training. Then we'll get into a high-level look at what life is like at sea with the CH-124 Sea King operating on Royal Canadian Navy frigates.
