Lynn Sanderson (Dirtstrip) passed away from natural causes in May 2013. He was a great contributor and will be missed dearly.

Shame the only Cessna 306 in existence was damaged.

Re: Era Alaska crash caught on weather cam
In the very early days of the weather camera program, there were only three weather cams. They took one photo per hour, rather than the much more frequent interval they do now.
One day, looking at one of the weather cameras, there sat a (air service name deleted) Cherokee Six, with a pilot standing on the wing taking a leak. It wasn't that hard to realize who the pilot was, since he'd parked right in front of the camera.....
Everyone has their minutes of fame, I guess. I sure feel for the guy driving that 208.

That video has been on this forum before. I can't remember what thread it's in.
