Transportation
On 22 September 1976 a Flamingo aircraft of Pacific Coastal Airlines, operating a charter flight from Bella Bella to Burns Lake, crashed at Mosher Creek near Stuwic. The Flamingo was carrying out a circling climb procedure within the confines of a narrow valley in order to clear a 6,000 foot ridge. Trying to clear a ridge at 4,500 feet a steep turn was carried out. Sensing an impending stall, the pilot leveled the wings and flew the aircraft into the trees in a nose high attitude. Of the two crew and seventeen passengers, one passenger was killed; the aircraft was destroyed.
