So many people have been asking Paul and I what happened to the Lake Buccaneer from the forced landing in episode one and two that we had to post a follow up video explaining what we know to date. If you haven't seen the first two episodes in the series please watch those first as it puts all this in context. We still don't know everything about why the engine stopped turning on that fateful trip back in February but we do know a lot more than we did back when we first posted about the story. This video covers what we know as of September 2023 and it also covers how the Lake Buccaneer was recovered from the icy surface of Alton Lake in northern Ontario. Enjoy!

I fly for fun and adventure and I strive to be the best, safest and most professional pilot that can be at all times but I am far from perfect. I have not been flying for a long time (since April 2015) but I always strive to be better. This channel is part of that process and another piece of the puzzle for me. I fly with as many people as I can and I seek out instructors and mentors whenever possible and I recommend that you do as well. I make sure that everyone I share the cockpit with with fits my style of flying and learning and that they can help me take my adventure higher.
Producing this RU-vid channel has made me grow as a pilot and for that I am truly thankful. Scouring through all the footage has shown me my strengths and weaknesses and that process has been humbling to say the least. I recommend videoing your own flights, watching them with an open mind and maybe even sharing them. There has been a lot of great feedback and wisdom in the comments on my videos as well. I always appreciate the constructive and almost always positive feedback. Keep it coming!
Please note that my videos are highly edited and some of the context of these flights is altered in order to keep the story moving. These videos are for entertainment purposes only and should not be considered a replacement for professional instruction by a certified flight instructor.
Fly safe and have fun!

So happy to start seeing new Lake videos on RU-vid. Not the best circumstances but it was nice to see a Lake flying again from the cockpit

Thank you for watching. It is a bit of an accident that my channel is so Lake specific early on as I fly a Skymaster but this is where the action has been for me so this is what I have been filming.

I thought I'd say hi. I used to own a Lake Buccaneer (named Growly), and now own a P337 (named Daisy). I guess we both like unusual aircraft ;-).

Fortune shines on those who were prepared. While you two were lucky that just about everything worked, it would have taken only one more bubble on your Swiss cheese for it to be a really bad day. Thank you for filming all of the ordeal and the update. I have watched all of your episodes and you are a great presenter in all of them. I look forward to seeing more of your content!

Glad that I found Tom Air - great videos. Does Mr. Briggs have a RU-vid channel or instructional videos? - I really enjoy how he translates his knowledge of flying into straight ahead language. Watching this video, the mechanic talks about how the plane was not stuck in the ice, that he could see it rocking. I thought this was interesting, because while watching the rescue videos I never thought that maybe the plane should be secured to the ice as it would be strapped down when parking at the airport.

Unfortunately Paul does not have a YT channel at this point but I try to fly with him and film him every chance I get. He has a MASSIVE amount of aviation knowledge to share and a lot of great stories also. He will be back on many future episodes.

Wow, so the new owner, who was looking forward to having his new plane home ended up with a huge 28k bill to rescue it and now has to face huge repair bills. I suppose he should be grateful that he was not the one flying it when the engine failed on it! Thanks for following up with this! I hope it gets fixed so the new owner can enjoy it, would be a great plane to own in lake country!

Yes, it was probably a bummer but you have the story a little backwards. The Lake that had the forced landing was to eventually be sold. The one we flew out west was the newer, better Lake that we delivered.

@tomairtv ahhh thank you Tom for clarification and replying! I've been enjoying your channel! I'm glad it worked out line it did, if only for the new owners sake anyway. The big thing is you both had a safe landing and quick rescue help in that freezing cold weather so you were all in good shape! 👍🏻

So I don’t know anything about airplanes. So is there insurance that covers the cost of recovery? And is the plane technically totaled?
@tomairtv
@tomairtv 4 месяца назад
The plane is fine and will definitely fly again once it gets a new or rebuilt engine. As it was not my aircraft I don't know about the financial side of who paid for what when it came to the recovery.

I see lots of talk, which included reasons why we STILL havn't seen a discussion as to why the engine suffered an internal failure.

When the shop tears it down we will have a definitive answer on that. Until we open the crane case we are all just speculating.

Lake Central (LCAS - www.lakecentral.com ) where Evan and Paul work is one of two AMOs in North America who specialize in the Lake aircraft. They are well known and very reputable, just ask anyone who owns and operates a Lake in the northeast as they have probably heard of them. LCAS have just under 20 employees. I do not work for LCAS and was involved in the ferrying of this particular airplane.

$28K for the lift. How much for all those trucks and trailers, C130 fuel, supply drops, overtime? Just hike out and let it sink into the lake. 🤣
