XB-70A Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 He also was the co-creator of Tanguy & Laverdure with Charlier. My favorite story in the collection, when stolen Harriers are used by a criminal organization to shot down airliners and try to drop a tactical nuclear bomb over Paris. However, he only draw the first eight albums, Pirates du Ciel being his last. Still, his drawing was incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife is saying now that when she heard the Snowbirds were doing a cross-country fly-by tour, she had a feeling there would be a crash. F Captain Jennifer Casey. She passed away when her CT-114 Tutor went down over Kamloops and hit a house. Pilot ejected (Captain MacDougall) and suffered injuries when he landed on the roof of a house nearby. Currently he's in hospital in stable condition. RIP Jennifer, and thanks for the show over Edmonton on Friday.

XB-70A Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 114161 was the one imply. From a video available online, it appears they entered a dynamic stall at first, followed by the beginning of a spin. Given the angle at which they ejected, I'm really surprised the pilot survived. Terrible for the the squadron’s public affairs officer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrandedonEarth Posted June 3, 2020 Author Share Posted June 3, 2020 Video analysis shows a bird quite close (<1m) to the Snowbird after takeoff, so the possibility of a bird strike causing the crash is being looked into, but has not yet been confirmed globalnews.ca/news/7011319/snowbird-crash-bird-strike/amp/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's certainly plausible, and a small engine like the one's in the CT-114 could be severely damaged by a bird.
