Prairie Planes
Editorial
The whole world morns the loss of Captain Jennifer
Casey and the injuries to Captain Richard
McDougall and everyone feels the loss with the
entire Snowbirds Team. We are still fighting the
battle with Covid-19 and many are still staying at
home.
It is usually the time for Canadian aviation and it
has hit home in Saskatchewan, the host province of
the Snowbirds and Moose Jaw, their hosting city.
This month I am proud to feature an article written
by a friend of mine and a very close friend of the
Snowbird team. Colin has been associated with the
Snowbirds for years and is probably one of their
most loyal fans. Please take a moment for his
article and feel what the loss means to all of us
from a true Canadian, Snowbird Fan.
Tell your friends and neighbors about us. Share the
magazine and spread the word about your prairie
heritage in aviation and be proud of it.
Send us your pictures and stories as they happen to
share them with other interested individuals and
groups. I would like to hear from you.
