Looks like it hit a house. Rumor one is dead.

I was literally just thinking about one of these planes crashing last night. Like was it really necessary to have a Canada wide day after day tour of these planes? These little planes are from the 70’s and are essentially a variant on a rarely adopted prototype.

Looks like engine failure or a stall with my limited knowledge

But, but, butt............it's not a shooting. j/k.

Planes are outdated, but they always put on an excellent show. I knew an ex-pilot who lived in Abbotsford. Great guy, tough job.

Anyway, RIP and Namo Amida Butsu.

If they killed Somone on the ground here the snowbirds will be done permanently. Might be anyways
