A crash involving a Canadian Forces Snowbirds CT-114 Tutor in Fort St. John in August was attributed to engine failure due to an improperly assembled oil filter.
That’s the finding from a flight safety investigator report recently released by the Royal Canadian Air Force following the Aug. 2 crash in support of the Fort St. John International Air Show.
The report indicates the aircraft was one of the nine Snowbirds stationed at the airport for the show July 30-31.
