Training for water landings

The Halifax Chronicle Herald has an article about one of their reporters attending a course in Shearwater that teaches Sea King helicopter pilots how to do an emergency landing on water.

An amusing quote from a Warrant Officer riding with the reporter when the reporter asked what would happen if the helicopter sank on landing:
"The only thing you a’re going to feel is my foot going on top of your head, pushing myself out," he says. "Might as well tell it how it is."
