They were taking part in a nighttime training exercise on Tuesday near Garrison Petawawa when their CH-147F Chinook helicopter crashed into the Ottawa River
The military has released the names of the two Royal Canadian Air Force members who were killed in a helicopter crash in eastern Ontario on Tuesday.
In addition to the Chinook, Larouche flew the CH-135 Twin Huey and the CH-146 Griffon, amassing more than 6,700 flying hours during his 33 years of service. Domagala, 32, was from Woodstock, Ont., and joined the reserves in 2008. He joined the 450 Squadron in 2019, after graduating from Royal Military College in 2016 and completing his pilot training. He was nearing completion of a Master’s degree from the college.
A spokesperson for the Defence Department said in an e-mail that river currents and poor visibility in the water were making that a complex undertaking. There was a black box flight recorder on board the aircraft.
