Post by: fuzeman on May 18, 2020, 12:32:50 PM

Over the weekend one Canadian Snowbird CT-114 Tutor crahsed shortly after takeoff in British Colombia. May have had engine problems and both pilots did eject. The ejection may have been under minimum requirements and 1 pilot died and the other sustained serious injuries.

Very sad.  :salute

Watched a video this morning and not sure the chutes opened in time. They were pretty low and in a downward trajectory when they punched out.

The person who died was Capt Jenn Casey, the squadron public affairs officer.
