Well, it seems like the CBC do not have monopoly on errant reporters:
From the RCAF press release:
The RCAF is aware of an incident at the Fort St John, BC Airport today involving a CT-114 Tutor aircraft of 431 (Air Demonstration) Squadron on takeoff.
The aircraft was able to land on the airfield, but suffered some damage to the aircraft in the process. The sole occupant (pilot) did not sustain physical injuries and is being assessed by medical personnel....
Now I am only a PPL, almost finished the CPL course, but can anybody tell me how the sole occupant of a CT114 can be other than the pilot?
