Light Twin goes down south east of YRL
The plane is sitting in a ditch near one of the gold mine settling pools. Mostly secondhand information but everybody's alright except the plane, light, white, low tail twin ran out of gas, put her down on a road and went into ditch. Looked like a Piper product, but couldn't be sure.

Out of gas, you say? Did a "suck me, blow me" run out of gas Friday in Sask? Somebody has to know something...?

I think it's a private US Plane that flew up from Minneapolis.(Heard from a friend, not sure.)
Re: Light Twin goes down south east of YRL
It was an American registered Grumin Cougar that went down just north of the Mine tailings pond, east of the runway. They ran out of fuel and were going for the road and whether they made it I don't know but the aircraft came to rest in the ditch and is heavily damaged. Luckily they walked away and were soon flown to their intended fishing outpost by a local float operator!
Moral of the story being that the fishing up here is really that good!

Re: Light Twin goes down south east of YRL
I was driving up Pine Ridge road to do some fishing and couldn't help but notice an american car in the ditch!
They sure do love fishing up here... I'll try and get some pics before they pull her out... or maybe someone can beat me to it!
