• Description:
  On February 25, 1995, a commercial pilot transporting mail in a Cessna 207 died as a result of injuries sustained in an aircraft crash north of the Arctic Circle. The pilot was flying under Visual Flight Rules (VFR) to a bush community approximately 100 miles from the flight's point of origin. An air taxi operator, approximately 25 miles from Kotzebue, reported observing a column of black smoke. Search and Rescue personnel later discovered the wreckage on the south wall of a box canyon. 1. Pilots should maintain established safe routes and altitudes unless required to deviate for reasons of safety. 2. Observation by pilots of wildlife is a potentially hazardous activity and should be avoided at low altitudes.
