A de Havilland Beaver operated by Wilderness Airlines took off from Eucott Bay in British Columbia on a charter flight. While turning left to leave the valley at about 300 feet, it lost height, stalled and crashed into woodland about 450 metres from the departure point, where it burst into flames. All five occupants were killed.
