What's Going On At Yellowknife?

Investigators On Site, Looking For Answers

Canadian military investigators are on the scene at Yellowknife in Alberta, trying to figure out why the pilot of a CF-18 was forced to eject as he was landing.

Canadian Press reports Capt. Joseph Edward Mullins, 34, was taken to hospital with minor injuries after he lost control of the craft during landing.

Eleven inspectors arrived at Yellowknife Sunday, their flight delayed because the incident forced the airports runways to shut down.

"We look at the whole thing," Major Jim Armour, senior investigator in charge of flight safety, said in a telephone interview with CP. "We'll look at everything from the way the airplane is, what kind of damage is on it. We'll look at the runway marks. We'll look at weather."

Armour acknowledged the runway was wet and may have been slick as a result.
