An Albertan airshow producer is remembering the woman killed after a plane with the Canadian Forces Snowbirds demonstration team crashed in Kamloops, B.C., on Sunday as a positive person with a passion for the industry.
The Royal Canadian Air Force confirmed that Capt. Jennifer Casey, the team’s public affairs officer from Halifax, N.S., was killed in the crash.
Sarah Van Gilst with Wings Over Springbank Airshow said she knew Casey for about three years, describing her as “sunshine” in an interview with Global News. “She was a really joyful person to be around,” she said with her voice breaking. “She was very efficient at her job and had a real passion for the industry.
