Skymaster Arctic Circle Ditching.

As i said, it's speculation.
it's been so long since I heard Brian talk about that, my memory is hazy.
Maybe a brain cloud

This is really ironic because I sold a dozen or so SOAPA t-shirts from the 2008 fly in to Troels Hansen. The Skymaster was in Ohio having a major avionics upgrade. Troels had told me that he was going to be flying the aircraft back to Sweden. I assumed it was his Slymaster but appearently not. Nice guy, I am really glad to hear they are alive. They are really lucky. Too bad about the aircraft though.

That just made my heart stop when I read his name.

The photo is just incredible

Maybe they will be in the states next year, and will come and talk about it.

They are two very lucky fellows. God was smiling on them that day for sure.

I agree they were so fortunate!!! Yikes!! I can't imagine a worse place to have to land, except the freezing water with no ice. It is too bad we will never know what really stopped both engines. Good comments on a lot of sites about being prepared for this sort of situation though.

Hello all Skymaster freinds.
I am presently in Iqaluit. I only have minor injuries. I will write my story in this forum when I get home to Sweden. Thank you for all the kind words and thoughts. I sure leaned about survival from this.
Regard Troels Hansen (former Skymaster owner)

we are all thankful you are alive.
