Canadian Air Crash Kills Seven

OTTAWA — A Grumman Goose amphibious aircraft crashed north of Vancouver, British Columbia on Sunday, killing seven occupants, the Canadian Armed Forces said. One passenger survived.

The crash was the second of a Grumman Goose operated by Pacific Coastal Airlines since August, when another one went down, killing five.

News reports indicated that the plane apparently flew into a hillside on an island off the province’s rugged coastline.

The age of the aircraft was not known although Grumman discontinued production of the model during the 1940’s.
