DC-3 accident

[pigboat]

Heard that somebody dropped a DC-3 freighter a couple of days ago in northern Sask. Does anybody know what happened?

[CD]

On landing, on the iced lake surface the aircraft touched down too far beyond the threshould of the cleared landing strip (appr.2.600 ft.). When the pilots realised the long landing, a go-around was initiated. The DC-3 climbed in a very steep angle and seconds later, the left wing stalled, the aircraft nosed over and impacted on the frozen lake surface.

Here is a link to a technical report on CASN:

CD: Another DC-3 gone, not to mention two good guys. Who was driving, or is that a no-no? Sounds like maybe a half assed white out situation, two over and lowered viz in light snow.

Sounds to me like another classic case of the load shifting Aft on the GO.
Real Shame!!!--not uncommon in that aircraft
