Nearly three dozen pilots will be flying over parts of British Columbia to commemorate Canadian Forces Snowbirds Capt. Jennifer Casey, who was killed in a plane crash on Sunday during a cross-country tour to improve morale and thank front-line workers during the coronavirus pandemic.
The B.C. General Aviation Association said the mass flyover will take place on Monday evening, and has posted a statement that includes a list of 35 pilots who have signed up to pay tribute to the Snowbirds. “Let’s pick up where the Snowbirds left off in honour of Captain Jenn Casey in their mission to fly over Canada to lift the spirits of Canadians,” they said.
