Making the necessarily steep approach, when arriving over the city, to land in Victoria's Outer Harbour. On 30 September 2016, the aircraft unintentionally impacted the water off Lopez Island, Washington, while the pilot was attempting to land in poor visibility due to ground fog. The aircraft came to rest upright, but was substantially damaged and began shipping water. The pilot and three passengers successfully evacuated and were shortly rescued from the sea by boat. The aircraft subsequently sank and was not recovered. This photo is copyright © David A. Montgomery, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
