Island Air founder talks about floatplane sinking
KODIAK — Nobody saw the submerged rock that sank one of Island Air’s DeHavilland Beaver floatplanes, and the plane’s pilot barely felt it, airline founder Bob Stanford said Monday. “It was such a light hit that the pilot didn’t even realize it was that serious,” he said. “As the pilot said, he’s hit the beach harder than that.” But instead of causing a minor mishap, the rock punched a small hole in one of the plan...
