An official with the Fort St. John International Airshow Society said the jet suffered a malfunction on takeoff but the pilot was able to return to the airport.

The hard landing resulted in a fire that was quickly handled by crews at North Peace Regional Airport and the airport said the runway was briefly closed for inspection.Article content“Flight safety is paramount in the RCAF and investigations into incidents and accidents are done in a comprehensive and thorough manner following well-established procedures,” the statement says.

The team was placed on an operational pause for the remainder of the summer following that accident, which came less than a year after another Snowbirds jet crashed in rural Georgia due to a fuel delivery system failure.
