I have just learned of the untimely destruction of a priceless 1957 De Havilland DHC-3T, in the wilds of Alaska. Excuse me...I just can't continue right now. Perhaps I can come back later. I'm sorry...
Oh, there were some survivors. You know, people. Other than the famous guy who's not a surviver. Some of the people died, too. But oh, that beautiful seaplane! *choke*
That gave me a grin. And a tear. For the plane...
ReplyDeleteJoel, The departed aircraft was a turbine model, converted from the original radial engine configuration. More like the pictured at the top right of this page.

It always makes me sad when a fine old plane meets an unfortunate end.
Loss of the aircraft was a tragedy, but we know one thing.
ReplyDeleteThat thug Stevens won't be pissing that pilot off again.
Ummm.... Did you notice the tail letters?
ReplyDeleteCan't say I did, till you pointed them out.
ReplyDeleteShould I block them out or something? I think we're all adults.
Stevens > "The internet is a series of tubes". Lovely that this guy sat on the commerce committee attempting to regulate something that he knew dick about.
ReplyDeleteWaste of a good airplane for sure.

At first I thought the tail numbers were photoshopped but they appear to be the real thing. The DHC-3-Otter is a heckuva good plane. Sorry to see one crash.
