airplane I've been a passenger on that was later involved in a fatal crash. Sad news, and sad news for Island Airways - good people that run a good service here in Michigan's northern lower peninsula. http://www.kathrynsreport.com/2021/11/britten-norman-bn-2a-islander-n866ja.html https://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=20211113-0 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Britten-Norman_BN-2_Islander I was a passenger in Islander N-866JA in March of 2018, K-CVX out to Beaver Island's Welke Airport and return.

In September of 2003 I took my Pa on a four day fly-in fishing trip to one of Hawk Air's many remote camps - it was an awesome trip! Many years later (2019) it went down after lifting off from Hawk Lake... two fatalities. I was stunned, as Hawk Air runs a very tight operation. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/sudbury/tsb-hawk-air-fatal-crash-july-2019-1.5755682 https://www.saultstar.com/uncategorized/fatal-hawk-junction-crash-caused-by-no-fuel-tsb
