Performer Dies At Canadian Air Show

By Russ Niles

A Canadian performer was killed Sunday in the crash of his
T-28 Trojan at an Alberta air show. Bruce Evans, of Calgary,
died when the aircraft apparently failed to pull out of a loop
while performing at the Cold Lake Air Show, about 100 miles
east of Edmonton. “It looked like he was attempting a loop
and he came in a little too low,” newspaper editor Peter
Lozinski told CTV News.“There wasn’t a fireball but a big puff
of debris went up into the air.”
Evans owned a mineral exploration company but spent much
of his free time involved in aviation pursuits. He had an ATP
and was a frequent participant in air shows and formation
flying events. The crash occurred just before 2 p.m. local time
at Canadian Forces Base Cold Lake, one of two major fighter
bases in Canada. Base commander Col. Eric Kenny said the
military is helping with the aftermath of the crash and the
Transportation Safety Board is sending an investigative team.
