The pilot of C-FBFH, a Bell 206, was conducting a fly-by at an air show at the Fort Simpson airport for Canada Day celebrations. During a low pass, the helicopter struck a decommissioned power line. The helicopter did not have a wire kit installed and the wire then struck the pitch rotors, causing substantial damage. The helicopter began to experience severe vibration and the pilot made a precautionary landing in a nearby baseball field. The pilot and the two passengers on board were not injured, nor was anyone on the ground.
