I really could post a pic and a line but I'm afrad it would fall in the "too soon" category about this. So I'll just have to quote C9G....

Sorry to hear.

Nothing but massive mountains and endless forest there. I hope they made it down safe.

My mothers flight instructor told her once, that if she has to land in a forest, forced landing, to aim between the trees. Knocking off the wings slows you down.

It has been a tough summer for aviation in Alaska. I have lost count of the number of crashes, and I don't want to count the deaths (fewer thankfully). There was another crash (all survived) Friday near Homer.

The weather around King Salmon has been bad for a while. A student I know has been trying to complete a long cross country, but was blocked by the weather all last week.
