And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
This happened last Sunday at Cut Knife, Saskatchewan. Either it is an incident which wouldn't be reported or it's too new to be listed on the usual government aircraft accident databases. I'm going with the former although an engine tear down is not 'minor' damage according to me.
The plane appears to be a Stinson Reliant, a popular single-engine aircraft first manufactured in 1933
Cut Knife, Saskatchewan, Canada farmer Shane Maze never heard the plane crash in his wheat field.
He was only alerted to the discovery hours later, when his uncle phoned him about the aircraft in the field located around 20 kilometres from his home.
Maze arrived just before the pilots hauled the plane away on Sunday, to find the upside-down wreckage — a surprising sight after eight years farming the land without incident.
The two people piloting the plane walked away unscathed after the crash, Maze later learned from his uncle, who spoke to them before they walked away from the crash and called for a ride to their home in Unity, about 45 kilometres north of Cut Knife.
Stinson Reliant on floats. That's a new one to me. I'm going to spend some time figuring how he didn't keep it upright.

How aeroplanes land down in Aussieland…...
ReplyDeleteYou know how it is, from the air, everything looks different. So the pilot mistook it for a lake ... it could happen.
