Plane Crash 9 Killed - Tour Out of Ketchikan

The pilot was 64 and from here in northern Idaho and worked there as a "summer" pilot. He was a well experienced pilot, both total time and type time. NTSA has begun their investigation and estimated 5 days, which I think is a little short, seeing as how they have not lifted the plane off the mountain yet. Initial report says wings and tail were ripped off but fuselage is fairly intact. Interesting scenario, if those reports are true.
