| Notes: 10/15/05 - We stopped at the floatplane base on the east side of Fort Frances and saw this Twin Beech "out back". I had noticed some nasty looking high-tension wires across the lake and learned that "Yankee Romeo" had collided with wires while landing. It was in '04, I believe. I was told that all survived. |

Picturesque in its own sad way. You can see a 1994 photo of CF-WYR in Parmerter's BEECH 18, P209. |
