The following is taken from the Balus Vol III book.
Weather was also a factor in the second crash, on 17 December, 1977. The pilot, John Keane, had only recently joined Talair. Aged twenty-five, he had only 421 flying hours logged when he touched down in blinding rain at Bundi in Cessna U206B, P2-SEE, some 450 metres beyond the normal point. The 206 careered, out of control, down the wet and slippery airstrip and plunged down a steep gorge. Keane and his eight passengers, all nationals (and including one child and three babies) died instantly. Inexperience and bad weather make a deadly combination.
Unsure if he was a Kiwi sorry.
