I usually read Pilot and Flyer, don't recall anything in either of those...

John Ayres had trouble with a broken ski mount on a Porter out on the ice somewhere which ended up wrecked after an attempt to take off sans skis circa 1968; I believe as a result he was stuck in Antarctica with the scientists throughout the winter. I think it was also he who ferried a rather bent Islander back from Rwanda so BN could repair it.
