There seems to be an unsubstantiated rumour circulating about a downed aircraft on the west side of James Bay. This is the second time I've heard this today.

As far as Wasaya is concerned, all aircraft are accounted for.

Thanks for the clarification and glad the pilot was uninjured.

The weather was indeed terrible up and down the James Bay coast. Strong gusty winds, localized severe mechanical turbulence and lot's of snow. Environment Canada has an ongoing winter storm warning issued for that region (since Sunday).
