Snowbirds Crash

On Mother's Day, the aerial team of the Canadian military started their flyover in our area in honour of front line workers. It was amazing, awe-inspiring and made me all choked up when we watched from the back yard.

They continued across the country.

The following Sunday (May 17), one of planes crashed in Kamloops BC on the final leg, killing Capt. Jenn Casey. It was the 9th fatality in in the Snowbirds history.

Oh, dear. I am not a bit militaristic, but paradoxically I have to admit I like to watch aerial shows. How terrible for the family of Ms Casey.
