Another Day Another Crash (NWT)

Post by down north »

It certainly has been a rough few months in regards to aircraft accidents:

This one near me not far from Yellowknife, NWT


Yellowknife RCMP are investigating a plane crash 55 kilometres north of Yellowknife on the shore of Fishing Lake.

The sole occupant of the aircraft, the pilot, from Yellowknife, is dead.

RCMP were called early Tuesday and have begun an investigation.

The Transportation Safety Board and N.W.T. coroner's office also are investigating. Cause of crash has not been determined and the victim has not yet been named.

Cadors #2010C3024 Cross referencing aircraft type to region leads to one person. My condolences.

You know, I re read what I wrote and your right. It doesn't lead to one person per say. But my research of Cadors and knowing the aircraft was a Bellanca and there only happens to be one registered in the northern region. It seems the person who perished was a known local. I just connected all the dots and came to the conclusion that pointed to one person. I guess the aircraft could have been borrowed so there is room for error in my calculations.

There are a few CH7B's up in the Knife. But I think this one was the only one of that model.

Sad to hear about this. My condolences to all family and friends.
