Notice the MR and TR blade covers on, this 206 BLEW over ! That Cline River / David Thompson Lodge area can get Windy !

holy crap!

I guess it's a little bit easier to blow over a jetbox than it was when Delta's 204 became tumbleweed a few years ago.

 

Still, it must be a bit windy there.

how hard would it have to blow to roll a medium on it's side? :shock:

[Guest who's yer daddy]

They don't call it "windy point" for nothing!

Anyone know what date the pic was taken?

Looks to me that the photo was taken on 2009/01/30 @ 11:04:03

Victim of Chinook winds maybe?

Is that what you think 3BX2?

[Guest SidewallPuncture]

not enough snow for this time of year, but i see what you're hinting at Bags :punk:

 

I've searched every database i know of and cannot find this incident ever being reported...so either it was kept quiet, or it's so new it hasn't made its way into data systems yet

BS would be the winner
