182 plane crash at Big Creek, ID.

[Bob Bement]

A Portland, OR. pilot alone in a Cessna I think it was a 182 or 206 crashed on the hog back ridge adjacent to the Big Creek landing strip on Sunday the 29th. He survived but had several broken ribs and some other broken bones. I will post some of the pictures we took a week ago when we landed in there.

Wow, that pilot is lucky to have survived! Coming down in tall trees like that doesn't usually end well.

Bad place to have a problem (obviously)....hope we hear about the cause whether mechanical or operator. It's not a difficult approach but there isn't a lot of room for error or changing your mind. Heck-of-a-job getting him out of there.
