It's getting to be the Bermuda triangle. I hope I don't know them.http://www.localnews8.com/news/update-b ... r/37264656

Holy Crap, thats terrible. Way too many crashes up there lately. My in-laws live in Swan Valley and I never see a lot of planes flying thru there but all these accidents??



Anyone know what kind of ship this was?

It was my friend's dad and his passenger. Yak 52
Prayers for both.

I was wondering also....especially as I was just up there a very few days ago. It's not real clear to me where it happened, but I do know that the snow is deep up there and a forced landing with wheels would not end well, if that had anything to do with it. Weather was good, probably not a factor. No particular reason for the spate of crashes in the area I can see, other then a pretty active group of pilots and a beautiful area to fly in.

I believe the pilot was RAF Board member Reade Genzlinger, per a post on supercub.org. RIP.
