Does anyone know where this wreck was?

I'm curious if anyone has any information on this crash -- all it says is "northern B.C." and we can't seem to find out much else.

Thanks in advance.

It sure looks like Muncho lake to me, There is a lodge at the southern end that has a runway set up just like that. Don't know anything else about it.

Shorton,
You are right on. After many searches, someone on another forum found the accident record.

It IS Muncho Lake, and happened in July 2007. Five people aboard (2 crew, 3 pax); the aircraft burned post-impact and was destroyed; one passenger was killed.

Thanks for the reply -- we'd been looking all over and it figures, as soon as I posted it here, they found it.

I appreciate your reply, thanks.

Re: Does anyone know where this wreck was?

It looks like he had more than the standard flaps 10 for take-off. Flaps 30 is the STOL setting. I cant tell if they are at 30. Did he had a tailwind breeze, maybe he was he trying to force it off for the camera? At Gross and indicating 50kts the mains want to come off and I have to force the nose down to get above VMC. http://www.youtube.com/user/Halli50

Yeah who knows what he did. I can't tell what the winds were there -- conifers are hard to read.

We use 20 flap for any short/soft fields... good machine...

That video is interesting -- floated some on landing..
