“In a statement, Princess Cruises said the larger plane, a de Havilland Otter DHC-3, was operating an excursion sold through the cruise line and was carrying 10 cruise guests along with the pilot. The second, smaller plane — a de Havilland DHC-2 Beaver — was carrying four cruise passengers and a pilot on an independent tour.”

I flew with Bush Pilots many times. One told me:
There are Olde Bush Pilots.
There are Bold Bush Pilots.
There are NO Olde Bold Bush Pilots.
This was after we landed on a small lake
rather than fly thru a squall line!

By Alaska standards, Ketchikan is a major city.
Listening to the report on Alaska News Nightly right now. Nothing new, just details about which agencies are helping and history of crashes in the area.
Do you know anything about this? I seem to recall this is your area.
Both planes are great planes.

Is it just me, or has there been a lot of plane crashes lately?
