Aircraft engineers understand and know the limits of an aircraft and ensure that the show goes on safely, said ME2 Premraj S\/O Royston, an air force engineer.<\/p>\n
As the engineer on board, ME2 Premraj monitors how quickly the Chinook and Apache helicopters close the distance between them.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe fly very closely together, and maintaining the closures will ensure that the formation flypath looks exactly how we want it to look,\u201d he said, adding that the engineers also ensure that aircraft systems are working since they are flying over areas that they do not normally fly during day-to-day training.<\/p>\n
For ME2 Premraj, being part of the NDP has been a dream since young. It is particularly special this year, as he has spent half of his career overseas and recently returned home.<\/p>\n
\u201cBeing able to fly onboard after so many (years) of looking at the flag on ground level, I think it’s very emotional,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt strikes me in a way that I don’t really know how to describe, but it’s something I’m looking forward to.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
