The wreckage of a Pan American Airways DC-4 "Clipper Endeavor" has been found 74 years after it crashed into the Atlantic Ocean.
The crash prompted mandatory airline safety briefings, all the passengers survived the impact,however they struggled to locate life vests and rafts as the plane rapidly sank.
Of the 69 passengers and crew onboard, just 17 survived.

The RCAF Snowbirds Team are to replace their Canadair CT-114 Tutor jet aircraft,with a variant of the Pilatus PC-21 turboprop trainer,the CT-157 Siskin II.

The Tutor fleet will be permanently retired after the 2026 air show season,meaning the Snowbirds will enter a hiatus until the new fleet is fully operational in the early 2030s.

Seems it was a broken down Jetski, the owner dumped it as he was trying to tow it back to shore, but it became too heavy.

I think they could be in deep trouble, and IMO they deserve to be, at least 2 heli`s,possibly 3, one fixed wing,and up to 4 Lifeboats searching ...  Owner is claiming he notified the Coastguard about it on Sunday.
