Re: Wasaya caravan missing
Sorry to hear this. My condolences to everyone affected. You guys are so right, we should really abolish the Caravan and go back to a better time when there were only Beavers, Norsemen, Navajos to get the job done. Back then there were no accidents. Unless there's a book called King Air 200, The Swi...

Wasaya 1900 Declares Emergency July 4, 2014
Could anyone give more details on this?
Rumour mill says the pilots declared an emergency, and turned back to Sandy, having difficulty controlling aircraft pitch.
And then nothing else was heard, good or bad.

I believe stef was sarcastically pointing out the article writer's poor editing. By naming the location of the lake 3 times.

Also, I had problems seeing the Garmin 530/430, and MFD screens when I bought a Polarized pair, don't know if anyone else has had the same problem? So I bought the same shape, non-polariz...
