Accident occurred Wednesday, March 01, 2006 in Beluga, AK

On March 1, 2006, about 1730 Alaska standard time, a Douglas DC-3
airplane, N777YA, sustained substantial damage during an in-flight
collision with trees on final approach to the Beluga Airport, Beluga,
Alaska.

.....

During a telephone conversation with the NTSB IIC on March 3, a
representative of the operator said the pilot reported striking
trees at the approach end of the runway during landing. She said
the airplane landed without incident, and the pilot subsequently
flew the airplane to Anchorage.

Well, that is one way to keep the trees trimmed along the approach path...

And then flew back to Anchorage, eh? I wonder if anyone has any
pictures...


It's a DC3.... a few trees aren't going to hurt it.
