Pilot was picked up by a West Coast Air Twin Otter while enroute to Naniamo
Re: Mooney down in water in Howe Sound. Pilot ok no pax
The pilot had gotten himself out of the overturned a/c, and was on the rocks. Anybody know who he was, or what the registration was?
Re: Mooney down in water in Howe Sound. Pilot ok no pax
Did anyone catch the registration ?
Re: Mooney down in water in Howe Sound. Pilot ok no pax
it was an American registered private a/c. Canadian private pilot who lives in nanaimo. he had a choice b/t the rocky cliffs or ditching, he made the right choice from 2500' - i guess terminal had him on vectors when it happened. kudos to him for walking away without a scratch.

Terminal was very helpful from what I heard, although they had to do a lot of relaying of messages through Helijet to get to them - glad to hear that everyone is safe and sound!
