Upside down Stinson

Recent unfortunate accident in Saskatchewan. I have no other details.

I think there is a "Hoskins" caption lurking here.

Update: I found an article in the local North Battleford newspaper:

Quote:

The two people piloting the plane walked away unscathed after the crash, Maze later learned from his uncle, who spoke to them.The plane appears to be a Stinson Reliant, a popular single-engine aircraft first manufactured in 1933.

The Transportation Safety Board of Canada was aware of the situation and was collecting information, but won’t conduct a full investigation, according to spokesperson Chris Krepski.

Begs for a caption, e.g. "I thought the green was just algae in the lake".

Judging from the photo of the two young lads I'd say inexperience let them down. :p

And they don't appear to show any regret. Unbeliveable. They are even smiling.

If an engine failure, they did a good landing.

Now that’s what we call a gear up landing!
