Larry_R Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Very sad news; a Seair crash as reported here: https://vancouverisland.ctvnews.ca/at-least-four-dead-after-small-plane-crashes-off-vancouver-island-1.4525406 As some may know, the Seair facility in Nanaimo is modeled in some detail in Orbx CAC8. I've stood on their dock many times, and I suspect I've seen the very plane that crashed a number of times. Even though I've never flown with them (always Kenmore Air) it still feels like a family loss. Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Myself as well Larry, I heard the news last night and turned to my wife of 45 years and said "oh good lord, and I think of the 100s of flights I took from north island to wilderness destinations in that area and enjoying every moment but in the back of my mind was always, could this be the trip that I don't make it home" we flew in some very scary conditions so hard to not have a small element of "fear". My sympathies to those families who have lost loved ones. Bryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 If you look at the top most dangerous occupations in North America, commercial pilot is near the top. Its the regionals, and bush flyers. Many flying with low time, and in demanding conditions. I still remember some one from high school, started out on a commercial career, flight from Penticton to Calgary, still haven't found him.
