Re: Missing airplane on flight from Penticton to Edmonton

Examination of the wreckage indicated that the aircraft struck the terrain in a steep, nose-down attitude. The slope of the hillside was approximately 25°. The flaps were found in the fully retracted (up...

A SPOT or Garmin inReasch transmitting positions would reduce the search area considerably. At 180 mph that search area could have been re...

Re: Fatal Accident Near Slave Lake

The pilot was 84 years old and had been flying for over 40 years.
