I hadn't seen any mention of this accident: Four people have reportedly died, and one child is in critical condition, following a small plane crash that occurred on Michigan's Beaver Island.
On Saturday afternoon, 11/13/2021, around 1:30 p.m. local time, the plane crash occurred on the island in Lake Michigan, resulting in the deaths of the pilot and three other passengers, the Associated Press (https://apnews.com/4c730ea26229bacbbcfbab147442009d) reported, citing the Charlevoix County Sheriff's Office (https://www.charlevoixcounty.org/charlevoix_county_sheriff/index.php).
According to the Petoskey News-Review (https://www.petoskeynews.com/story/news/2021/11/13/beaver-island-plane-crash-leaves-child-only-survivor/8608355002/), the passengers are said to have been realtor Mike Perdue and his 11-year-old daughter, as well as Kate Leese and Adam Kendall, two individuals who the outlet reported were new to the island and planning a vineyard in the area.

I did not realize that the BN-2A has been in constant production since 1965.
