The Canadian territory is an aircraft graveyard, and now the difficult search is on for a mysterious downed craft in its vast environs
By chance, military exercises were planned in the area, so nearly 7,000 soldiers joined in the search. More than 80 large planes flew missions to scour the landscape – to no avail.
The Canadian air force has sent a number of planes, including a Hercules search and rescue plane as well as two smaller Twin Otter planes and helicopters – aircraft that can fly low and slow.What hasn’t changed, however, is the immensely difficult terrain and search conditions. Downing pointed to a recent plane crash in British Columbia, where search teams exhaustively combed an area along the plane’s known route for weeks, but turned up nothing. Eight months later, it was a helicopter pilot, travelling along the same route, who finally spotted the wreckage.

Federal govt faces backlash from faith leaders over proposed school reformsShadow Attorney General Julian Leeser says in an “unprecedented” letter faith leaders in Australia have complained about the government’s attempts to “water down protections” regarding the right to choose the staff in their schools. “What the faith leaders are saying very clearly in their letter today is that they’re not seeking to discriminate against people on the basis of protected attributes,' Mr Leeser told Sky News Australia. “What they’re seeking to do is to be able to employ people, as they have always done, who are adherents or supporters of their faith tradition in order to create communities of practice.”
