Safe Landing...
Published Jan 01, 1900
The Ontario coed was anxious to see her parents over the holidays... Access to their remote cabin near Caribou Lake was limited, so she was trying to talk a local bush pilot into flying her home. "But there's no place to land." he protested. She told him of a clearing she had used last year. The pilot agreed. Upon approaching the clearing, it looked too short, with a rise at the end. Going in on a wing and a prayer the lil' plane skidded along, hit the rise, then flipped over. Once safely out of the plane, the girl smiled and said, "Yep. They had to land the same way last year too."
