Canada’s air force probes sexual misconduct allegation against Snowbirds pilot
The department’s news release said the person affected by the alleged misconduct is also a member of the military.It said the Snowbirds will perform air displays as an eight-aircraft team, instead of nine, for the foreseeable future.
“To sub someone in, we’d have to have a spare Tutor pilot that is fully trained and underwent the same exercises as the other ones. At this point, we don’t have someone who is trained and ready to go.”The DND said the member facing allegations has been reassigned to non-operational duties at 15 Wing Moose Jaw. It noted the measure “does not imply any outcomes and is intended to enable a robust investigation.
Lamirande said the military is not able to disclose reasons why investigations, including the one involving the Snowbirds pilot, may or may not be referred to civilian police “in order to prioritize a victim centric approach and maintain the integrity of an ongoing investigation.” Some provinces and municipal police forces have complained about the need for more funding and other resources to absorb the military’s cases into their own systems.
