Damn... We were flying around Talkeetna today and heard bits and pieces on the radio. It was hard to figure out what happened judging by the radio talk. Condolences to the families.

BE SAFE OUT THERE GUYS!!!!

Here is an update. Still don't know if there were two or three in the 180 that crashed and burned. The 206 made it back to Anchorage with substantial damage and made an uneventful landing with straight floats on the concrete runway.
