337 down in the Kootenays

[iflyforpie]

I got some bad news this morning that a Cessna 337 flown by a pilot who used to work for us crashed in the Purcell Range just north of Crawford Bay. One on board, fatal.

It was a pleasure knowing you, working with you, and flying with you. Godspeed.

Condolences, never a good day.

My condolences to the friends and family of the pilot. Sad day forsure.

He was on the way to see his daughter.

Very sad to hear that. Thought it might have been fire patrol, but I'm told they haven't started yet.
