It is believed the crew felt they did not have enough fuel to return to Patricia Bay and attempted to land at Port Hardy airport. Due to bad weather the plane failed its first approach and ran out of fuel during its second crashing into the trees below. There was only one survivor. All other aircraft participating in the exercise successfully landed at Patricia Bay.  Media Coverage  Future Plans  Stories Add your own story  Photo Galleries Stuck in Port Hardy Sun, Nov 10th, 2019 posted by Boffo 10 pictures   Add your own photos Mark all galleries as Seen  Web Links https://www.101nis...-story-of-dak-576/  Contribute Edit this Location  Moderator Rating The moderator rating is a neutral rating of the content quality, photography, and coolness of this location.
