that really doesn’t sound like that good of a safety record ...

I have flown several times in single-engine and twin-engine Otters as well as the old single engine Beaver. They are fine, tough aircraft but as already noted they fly in some of the worst conditions on Earth. If the pilot is good the plane does fine. If not, gravity wins.

Very sad. Everyone getting into a float plane is kind of expecting a little bit of adventure, or flying somewhere cool.
Prayers.

Do we have a tail number? Believe I saw one at an air show in Spokane this spring. The owner rebuilt it and typically took his family and grandkids around Washington state on weekends - I’m looking for a pic on my phone
