A YouTube video posted in 2010 shows the aircraft for sale, able to be equipped with floats, skis or wheels for landing. Images of the crash provided by the RCMP show the aircraft equipped with skis, allowing it to land on snow rather than a paved runway.
The male pilot and female passenger were the only people on board. No word yet what caused the crash.
