Flight Dryden to Marathon but crash site near Sioux Lookout
Flight Dryden to Marathon but crash site near Sioux Lookout
Re: Cherokee 140 near Sioux Lookout
Can someone confirm that this is a different crash from the "Wawa crash"? Wawa was a Comanche, pilot and pax, is this a second, Cherokee, pilot and 3 pax? Or might there be confusion, and SAR recently found the first crashed Piper?
Re: Cherokee 140 near Sioux Lookout
Yes, a different plane.
This one left Dryden, ON Friday night and crashed about an hour later. SAR techs found this one the next morning, early. 4 bodies have been recovered.

Dang another Northern one, at least the ELT worked this time to locate the plane. Condolences to the family and friends.

Weather has been absolute crap lately no business for piston singles to be flying around
Re: Cherokee 140 near Sioux Lookout
While weather may not have been a cause, it was not very good for VFR in the dark. Sunset was about 2020 local time. I do not know when they headed out from Dryden but here is the weather at Sioux Lookout on April 29, 1400-0000 local time.

Re: Cherokee 140 near Sioux Lookout
Flightradar24 shows a small piper in the area around 02z…..
It was rainy….. it was dark….it’s been a long day beating across the continent at 80kts….
Dark in that area is dark. There may be a tower light blinking somewhere, maybe not. On a cloudy night, it’s IFR.
Very sad

Re: Cherokee 140 near Sioux Lookout
Rumor circulating about what was found in the plane?
Re: Cherokee 140 near Sioux Lookout
Not yet.
Good judgment comes from experience. Experience often comes from bad judgment.
Re: Cherokee 140 near Sioux Lookout
4 people in a Cherokee 140 does not leave much weight for fuel to go cross country either (depending on the size of the people).

Re: Cherokee 140 near Sioux Lookout
It appears they were going across the country in a series of relatively short hops. A bit of an unusual track coming out of Dryden:

Re: Cherokee 140 near Sioux Lookout
Interesting....the aviation-safety-net link above says it is a Warrior 161. Everything I see in T/C is a 140. Does not matter in the end, ie, still a Cherokee and still 4 lives lost. The Warrior has a slightly larger gross weight and larger engine so how does a reporter or safety reporter get that kind of data wrong?
Just frustrating to see reports that I would normally believe, to be false.
Wish that we knew the thought processes for taking off in those conditions, etc.
Thanks for the links

Re: Cherokee 140 near Sioux Lookout
Registration comes up as a '67 PA28-140. That particular model likely has between 750-800 lbs useful load.

Re: Cherokee 140 near Sioux Lookout
Thai news reports that he may have been suicidal. I wonder what he was doing in an Cherokee 140 with three other people. Perhaps the last few minutes of the flight were more interesting than initially thought.

Re: Cherokee 140 near Sioux Lookout
The irony that by choosing GA he incurred the same penalty he was trying to avoid.
Re: Cherokee 140 near Sioux Lookout
He was killed in a plane crash. That's something we all try to avoid.
