The CH-149 Cormorant is currently the Canadian Air Force's only dedicated search-and-rescue helicopter. The first two aircraft arrived in Canada in September 2001 and entered service the following year. In August 2010, the Canadian Forces fleet of 14 CH-149 Cormorants passed 40,000 operational hours. The fleet had a higher flying rate than any other AW101 fleet and Cormorant #149901, currently stationed at Canadian Forces Base Comox with 442 Squadron, has the highest number of airframe hours on any of the AW101s anywhere in the world.
