• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Small plane with 4 on board missing in Alaska

I really could post a pic and a line but I'm afrad it would fall in the "too soon" category about this. So I'll just have to quote C9G....

Sorry to hear.

Nothing but massive mountains and endless forest there. I hope they made it down safe.

My mothers flight instructor told her once, that if she has to land in a forest, forced landing, to aim between the trees. Knocking off the wings slows you down.
 
It has been a tough summer for aviation in Alaska. I have lost count of the number of crashes, and I don't want to count the deaths (fewer thankfully). There was another crash (all survived) Friday near Homer.

The weather around King Salmon has been bad for a while. A student I know has been trying to complete a long cross country, but was blocked by the weather all last week.
