Stellar Posted December 11, 2004 #2 Share Posted December 11, 2004 This is such bad timing for an event like this. Sometimes I wish the news here in Canada was censored. Each time theres a crash involving a plane or a helicopter, my parents go "See! Planes crash too! And you wanted to be a pilot! Its suicide!"

Scorpius Posted December 11, 2004 #3 Share Posted December 11, 2004 On "routine" practice flight. You'd think they'd know where to fly if it's generally a routine. Still, Tis' a sad news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thanato Posted December 11, 2004 Author #4 Share Posted December 11, 2004 The manuver they were doing is vary dangurise, they were basicly playing Chicken but one was a tad bit higher and one a tad bit lower. Unfortinatly something happened and the clipped and the one Pilot died (Rest in peace) and the other ejected and is in Moose Jaw hosptical. I hope the Snow Birds recover. ~Thanato Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
