A small plane carrying four people, including three park rangers, is missing in southwest Alaska.
A Coast Guard HC-130 crew is among searchers looking for the Dehavilland Beaver between Swikshak Lagoon and King Salmon, about 285 miles southwest of Anchorage.

Regular pilot quits suddenly. The emergency beacon is disabled. The warning signal reporting on terrain is not turned on.
Someone seriously ‘adjusted’ that aircraft.
Because of the vastness a lot of folks travel Alaska in small planes and the weather can change really quickly. Not the safest bet.
seems like someone is using a shotgun approach and hoping to hit our Sarah. the third small plane down would almost confirm it.
please, anyone reading this that has her ear... please remind her that she has been pissing off the left and the right (please, keep it up). trust NO ONE. do not tell anyone your travel plans, if you can avoid it. treat them like state secrets use to be treated.

LOL Now that you mention it, I have developed a new love for peanut butter. Great calories on hunting trips, and out of nowhere I have discovered that toasted PB English muffins are a delicacy.
A Beaver on floats is an excellent airplane.
For hauling a bunch of people and/or stuff to smaller lakes, it is excellent.
IMHO
PB and Salior Boy
An Alaskan treat!
Some day when I’ve made my millions, I’d love to own one! ;-)
You can fit a small wheeler inside too, if you take the wheels off. Next spring I’ll probably go for another ride in a Widgeon for my bear hunt, but possibly a Beaver. The Widgeon is a sharp looking plane also.
Oh yeah... Home-made smoked salmon spread ain’t too bad either!
