Beechcraft King Air 90 (N8116L)

Hmmm… I wonder why no historic data :)?

good ditching!!

Floats real nicely!

Where are the ditching exits on a king air? the main door is closed up.

Mech trouble = fuel starvation. On delivery flight.

Amazing job of keeping it in one piece...too bad they couldn't retrieve it before it sank.

The crew made up by the owner(s) was probably too eager to get home in Brazil and were stretching the range right starting with Leg 1 (they ditched on Leg 2) a bit too far and they ruined an otherwise jewel of a plane. Now floating on seawater means a total loss even if they did a profesional job during ditching all due to the salt that chews up in a few seconds.

Damn ferry tank failures

Interesting.........the owner is Wells Fargo Bank in Salt Lake City
Regardless that is NOT a situation I would want to be in

Oops

Rather expensive fishing trip.

looks like no casualties!

I was never happy with the king air fuel system !
But in fairness if it has jet fuel in it, it works quite well !
