Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Alaska Summer in Bettles, Airplane Wrenchin'

Yes, an older 210 WITH lift struts. I can't find the tail number. His phone was in the bottom of Wild lake so he couldn't call out. I heard a rumor from some fisherman that stopped in for fuel so we hurried over to check on the rumor. He was OK, a little cut up from crawling through the broken windscreen. Plane was 30' deep already when he crawled out. His wife watched the whole thing from shore. They neighbors saw it and jumped in their boat to rescue any survivors. When I talked to him he had not yet talked to the NTSB so I won't share any details. Wild lake is 500 feet deep in the middle. That plane is there forever. I'm just glad Marty is OK.
