    The Canadian Forces Snowbirds' cross-country tour to raise people's spirits during the COVID-19 pandemic turned to tragedy Sunday when one of its planes plunged into the ground in Kamloops, B.C., killing one member and injuring another.

    The Snowbirds jet crashed shortly after takeoff and burst into flames in the front yard of a house.
    Capt. Jenn Casey, a public affairs officer with the Snowbirds, died in the crash, the Canadian Armed Forces said in a statement.

    The pilot of the CT-114 Tutor aircraft, Capt. Richard MacDougall, sustained serious injuries in the crash, but they are not considered life-threatening.

    Capt. Casey is from Halifax and joined Canada's Armed Forces in 2014 after several years working as a journalist, according to her biography on the Royal Canadian Air Force website.

    Thank you JDI for the thread start

    I was just too devastated yesterday to do the post
    Traveling for 5 years with the Snowbirds and knowing so many of the pilots and techs it was a terrible tragedy
    For Nova Scotia, Canada and all who worked with and loved the Snowbirds

    The most amazing thing was to watch the airshow crowd watching the Snowbirds!!

    Condolences
