Royal Canadian Air Force medevaced two injured sailors from a foreign ship last weekend in a mission that lasted several hours. Tasked by the Joint Rescue Co-ordination Centre (JRCC) in Halifax, the Air Force received information mid-last week that there had been an injury on a vessel coming across the Atlantic. The 184-metre oil tanker was located around 450 km from St. John’s at the time of the mission. The injured sailors were in stable condition when help arrived, but needed to be medivaced to receive medical care.
