My
Plane
Goes
Down
This summer was fun for me up to when
I was on my way to National Guard
Training down in Georgia. It was then I was in a plane crash that
I'll never forget.
We left Bethel for Marshall around
5:30 P.M. in a Yute Air Cessna 207.
In the plane with me were Gail Fitka and her baby and two other
people from Russian Mission. Suddenly about half-way to Bethel the
plane began losing power when we were about 800 feet up from the
ground. We landed on the tundra by a big lake. The pilot knew what he
was doing and as soon as we landed we had to rush out of the plane
just in case the plane might blow up or something might happen. But
it was cool crashing, like it was a dream or a nightmare or in slow
motion. When we got out of the plane the prop was bent up bad. In
front of the plane the wheel had come off. And the side wheels were
buried in the mud about two feet. About five minutes later we were
all shaking like we were nervous or freaked out.
While we were waiting on the tundra
we had nothing else to do but sit down. Since there were a lot of
bugs bothering us, I asked the pilot if he had any bug dope because
they were bothering us. He replied that he had only a little bit.
About 45 minutes later we saw a plane coming towards us. It circled
around us for about five minutes, then it went back to Bethel. About
an hour later we got picked up by a National Guard helicopter. When
they landed this guy asked us lots of questions Iike, "Are we okay?
And all of us said, yeah, we were okay. Then we went back to
Bethel.
After we landed at the airport we had
to go into the back room at the Yute Air terminal. An hour later we
chartered back to Marshall with Y.K. Aviation. Before we started back
the pilot checked to see if the engine was okay. On our way over we
looked for our plane but we didn't find it. As I searched for the
wreckage I thought how lucky we were to escape death!
