·A few pics… curious if you a familiar with the aircraft pictured. I am not.
I spotted marijuana (spelled marihuana in Canada) during annual eradication efforts in the 1990s. We used our military helicopter.
In the mid 2000s. I was the patrol sergeant coordinating a suicide investigation on the bridge to Port Huron Michigan. Soon after alerting our rescue coordination center in Trenton Ontario, the Detroit Coast Guard flew below us. I immediately told my scenes of crime officer to take photos from above. I have some nice 8 x 10s.
I was in my leather shop today and mentioned the coast guard photo. A regular customer showed me a photo that she took in 2016 or 2017. So cool.
I mentioned RCC Trenton (above). The following link refers to the former commander of CFB Trenton, who is now in jail.

The Canadian military helo is a Bell "Twin Huey" (designated CH-135 by the Canadian military). They were retired from service in 1999.
The red USCG helo is an Aerospatiale H-65 "Dolphin".
The news story of the CFB commander was a bit disturbing. Just think, one of my former COs could have been an axe wielding serial killer 🤔
Anyway, I hope you don't mind me asking, but were you RCMP back in the day?
