I remember last year Transwest brought up their first Beaver for the season into Stony Rapids and the guy landed and put right into the rapids, If I recall I heard there were about 30 small punctures in the floats. Smooth move since there was about 2 miles of river before the rapids. Was this accident similar?
Did It do that Yesterday?
Re: Transwest's beaver
No it wasn't similar. The dumbass this year dug a float on glass and cartwheeled it I heard. Moron.

Easy flier.....never shit on your brothers....unless he's an asshole and even then a bit of compassion may be in order.
Re: Transwest's beaver
Hey flier, before you shit on somebody, you better know every detail. A comment like that implies you are a great pilot who has never made even a simple mistake. If you think you're a great "flier" just remember all the "great" pilots are dead. Just ask anyone who ever talks about them.
What little I do know is either not important or I've forgotten it!

Re: Transwest's beaver
It didn't cartwheel and I heard there was not much damage. Just a rookie mistake.
Re: Transwest's beaver
and it wasn't Transwest's beaver....it's owned by Scott Lake Lodge....operated by Transwest....and now they won't let Scott Lake get another plane in to help out with the fly outs....wtf!?!?
live simply. simply live.
Re: Transwest's beaver
Nobody hurt, just some bent floats. Didn't cart wheel. Supposedly dug a float on a glassy water landing and veered hard into one of the shorelines. Sucks. But shit happens to the best of us. I'm prettty sure I know the pilot and he's a hell of a nice guy and damn hard worker. Hope he's doin ok.

Never forget that today it was someone else....tomorrow it could be you.
The hardest thing about flying is knowing when to say no
After over a half a century of flying no one ever died because of my decision not to fly.

threads should be locked after 6 months so some moron doesn't bump something to the top and get everyone all excited.
