Yep, they're not doing aerobatics as such, more a formation flyover tour of Canada in stages. I assume the deceased was not actually a pilot but a team member, PR as I understand it. Not totally convinced non essential personnel should be flying in these circumstances. Apparently apart from the two spare Tutors they don't have any support aircraft.
