Transwest's beaver

[FLOATER]

Does anyone know the details of the beaver accident.

Something about landing short and running it up on short and messing up the floats????

[bush pilot]

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?

[flier]

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.

[Lost Lake]

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.

[chancellor]

It didn't cartwheel and I heard there was not much damage. Just a rookie mistake.

[C-FOXY]

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!?!?

[Rowdy]

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.

[Cat Driver]

Never forget that today it was someone else....tomorrow it could be you.

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