BAD CHOCKS BLAMED FOR CRUNCHING PM’S PLANE

- The Canadian Press

Military investigat­ors say the Royal Canadian Air Force plane used by the prime minister hit a hangar wall last year after a maintenanc­e crew used the wrong chocks, and not enough of them, to hold it in place. The crash at Canadian Forces Base Trenton in Ontario occurred in October. It left the CC-150 Airbus with structural damage to the nose and right engine that is still being repaired. Investigat­ors cited a lack of brake training as a cause for concern and said they found the chocks used to secure the plane did not meet standards.
