Emergency crews have converged on a hay field southeast of the North Peace Regional Airport this hour.
A Canadian Forces Snowbird pilot escaped serious injury Tuesday after their plane crashed during takeoff in Fort St. John.
Emergency crews converged in a hay field southeast of the North Peace Regional Airport shortly after 12 p.m. following the crash.
Major Trevor Reid with the Canadian Forces Snowbirds Public Affairs Office says the CT-114 Tutor suffered what’s being called a "hard landing" while taking off from the airport. The pilot was not physically injured and was being checked on by a medical team.
"The aircraft did have a hard landing and the sole occupant, the pilot, did not suffer physical injuries but is being medically assessed as per RCAF policies," said Reid.
The Snowbirds demonstration team was in town for the return of the International Airshow over the weekend.
Most of the team has since flown to Penticton for a performance there, however, on Tuesday afternoon there was still one Snowbird aircraft seen on the airport tarmac where they had staged for the airshow.
