Looking at that picture it is hard to see a 206 and very hard to make it a survivable accident

holy smokes glad the pilot survived. Doesn't look like there was much more room for damage on the front of that thing...

Man....... Sunrise has been having some tough luck in the past few years..... Anyone know who the pilot was? .... I may know him? Flew C-GUIK many years back. Altimeter setting yesterday in Southern Manitoba was 29.69, calm winds and humidex of +38 C at one point. Nice to hear they walked away.....!

Wow, hard to belive anyone walked away from that. Lucky pilot

Tough go for the North Bay company two accidents in two days while spraying! Stay safe out there fellow aviators.

Its good to hear, both pilots walked away from them, I think Sunrise is going to get a visit from "Big Brother", I don't know if the 3 strikes and your out rule comes into effect.
