Snowbirds - Hats Off Gents

I’m tipping my hat with condolences for the family, comrades, friends and Canadian countrymen for your loss. Not drone-related, but a recognition of an aviator’s passing.

One crew member dead as Canadian forces' Snowbirds jet crashes in British Columbia

A jet from the Canadian air force's Snowbirds aerobatics team that was on a tour to lift spirits during the coronavirus outbreak crashed in Kamloops, British Columbia, on Sunday, killing one crew member and seriously injuring the other, defense officials said.

Very sad news, especially when the purpose of their tour is to cheer us up during these crazy times. They were in my part of the country last weekend, but unfortunately not quite close enough for me to see them.

I heard them fly over the house that weekend but wasn't quick enough to get outside before they disappeared beyond the trees.

Very sad event indeed. Condolences to the family and the Snowbirds organization.
