The two man crew of CF-100 18343 of 432 AW (Fighter) Squadron, was number 4, in a four plane fly past for the Air Officer Commanding. As the aircraft passed over the airfield, both engines quit as the formation pulled away. Neither engine could be restarted, forcing the two crew members (22/24) to eject below the suggested minimum altitude. Fortunately, the ejections were successful and the crew survived, although they suffered leg injuries. The cause of the dual engine failure may have been that G forces caused the pilot’s hand to push the throttles down, shutting off the fuel cock.
