WINDSOR, Ont. — A plane that the military grounded after a fiery crash in Alberta last month will fly in a Windsor, Ont., air show this weekend.

The CF-18 Hornet will be a part of the Windsor International Air Show.

Keith Baxter, the director of operations for the air show, says the air force has decided to keep its commitment with Windsor.

Baxter says they were able to find another pilot and CF-18 to perform a demonstration.

Capt. Brian Bews is recovering after he suffered back injuries in July, when he was ejected from his jet just seconds before it hit the ground and exploded.

Baxter says the Windsor airport will be a busy place starting Wednesday as the aircraft start arriving for the show.

I think he was pushed to take matters into his own hands. I have a teenage son and if he was involved with a drug dealer I would be furious and try anything to save him like this father did for his daughter. Why do police often say they can't do anything until it's too late? Whether it be a drug dealer or an abusive spouse, the police can't seem to do anything until something really bad happens. In this case they could have raided the drug dealers home and arrested him. The whole town knew what was going on in that house but yet the police chose to do nothing. Release this man and give him a medal for doing the right thing by his daughter. I can't wait to see the episode on W5, I will certainly be watching this one.
