Photo Comment

A very large homebuilt designed by Dean Wilson. A self contained camper with wings and a PT-6A/20 engine. A typical scene from Canada's boreal forest is painted on the fuselage. Unfortunately, shortly after this photo taken this aircraft sunk to the bottom of Azure Lake following a glassy water landing. Minor injuries to those on board.
