Canadian Forces Snowbird jet crashes; two killed

MOOSE JAW, Saskatchewan -- A pilot and military photographer on a routine training mission as part of the Snowbirds, the Canadian military’s precision flying team, were killed when their jet crashed Thursday near a base in central Canada.

The pair, whose names have not been released, were taking pictures of three other aircraft also in the air when the jet crashed about one mile (1.61 kilometer) northwest of the base, Col. Paul Keddy said, commander of Canadian Forces Base Moose.

The crash is under investigation, and Keddy said the plane that crashed didn’t touch any other aircraft during the training flight.
