Information is starting to emerge concerning the May 17th accident seriously injured pilot Captain Rich MacDougall and resulted in the death of Captain Jenn Casey, the Snowbird PAO (Public Affairs Officer).
The villain in this crash may be none other than a local bird. Examination of the video that was shot as the fated Snowbird flight of two was departing, shows a small object about to get sucked in to the right intake of the affected aircraft -- and a bird is the suspect. During the battle over ATC privatization issues a few years back, Canada's aviation regulatory agencies (especially NAV CANADA) were held up (by misguided Pro-ATC Privatization concerns) as a reason why ATC Privatization wasn't a bad thing overall... because NAV CANADA was supposedly reasonable to deal with and cost-effectively priced. But now... NAV CANADA proposes to increase customer service charge rates, on average, by 29.5%, effective September 1, 2020. NAV CANADA acknowledges that this proposal comes at a time when its customers are experiencing exceptionally difficult circumstances caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. But they still want the bucks... The Blues are getting ready to go SUPER. Boeing has delivered the first Super
Hornet test aircraft for the U.S. Navy’s Blue Angel flight demonstration squadron. The unpainted aircraft now enters the flight test and evaluation phase at Naval Air Station Patuxent River in Maryland. Boeing expects to deliver a total of 11 aircraft for the squadron in 2020. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne!!!
