Prince George, B.C.- The RCMP are trying to recover their Turbo Beaver aircraft that crashed on the weekend.

Saturday evening, the RCMP craft crashed while attempting to land on Level Lake about 70 kilometres west of Dease Lake. The RCMP pilot and two BC Conservation Officers on-board the plane were all able to get out of the Turbo Beaver aircraft safely with very minor injuries that required no medical treatment. The RCMP and BC Conservation Service were in the area as part of a joint enforcement project.

Transportation Canada has been notified and an investigation has been initiated to determine any further course of action. The cause of the crash is not yet known.

Landed with its wheels down. Amphibs don't like that, causes the plane to flip onto its back from drag.

Don't rightly know for sure Rodangus.
The people that pay for these things are not privy to that info.
