At approximately 12 p.m. on January 31, an accident occurred at the Thunder Bay Airport in Ontario involving a Beechcraft King Air 350 aircraft operated by the Royal Canadian Air Force. All three Royal Canadian Air Force members onboard have been attended to and assessed by on-site first responders, and did not require hospitalization. A Flight Safety investigation will commence soon to determine the cause of the accident.
The Royal Canadian Air Force thanks the Thunder Bay International Airport Authority and local first responders for their assistance and support in the wake of the accident.

Good catch - a titch more detail than the airport's statement ...

There's video of the scene on YouTube for those interested.

I'm glad everyone is safe.

Not prejudging the outcome, but there is irony that Air Tindi extended (deferred) the overhaul period on the (failed) left propeller, and it failed during the extended period beyond the standard TBO (time before overhaul)…

Methinks this may not go the way that they hope, in Court…

I had not heard if the maintenance action deferral by Air Tindi had been approved by Hartzell.
