Two pilots who safely ejected from a plane before it crashed near Moose Jaw, Sask., Friday morning had four minutes to act after they noticed a problem, according to the Royal Canadian Air Force.
All flights are grounded at the Canadian Armed Forces 15 Wing Moose Jaw base, the centre of RCAF training, while investigators look into the crash.
The pilots were flying a Harvard II in the vicinity of the base when it crashed at about 10:30 a.m. CST.
RCAF Col. Denis O'Reilly said it was an unplanned ejection.
He said it took less than an hour to recover the pilots, who are alive with non-life-threatening injuries. One was taken by STARS Air Ambulance as a precaution, while the other was transported by ambulance.
