Of the 175 previous flights, a complete flight control check was skipped on all but 2 times. Given that...

Re: Small plane clips tree during emergency landing on road.

Total wreck and you call that "A GOOD JOB" ?. Just Lucky to be alive. No postcrash fire, engine dead and cold. I thought it was in Point Mckenzie, Alaska, not in BC, my mistake.

Re: Hunting within the traffic pattern. Do pilots care?

HPR I disagree having them around for long range and deadly force. Shotgun is not a problem at all above 4-5 hundred feet. A $2G drone is a lot more dangerous than the two previous ones.

nearby the cockpit you could see a pump to evacuate water and probably a few others we couldn't see. She was almost afloat on an other picture. They had the perfect sandy beach to tow her at high tide and then work from that. Bunch of idiots i agree with all of you guys... What a loss... Can't belie...
