The men are experienced pilots, Lunzman said. But they both misjudged the depth of the snow on the lake, and it sucked them down and flipped the plane, he said.

Might be good to try that with skis. Just saying.
A Porterfield?! New to me. Sounds more like a steak.

Know the place and the older of the two pilot's name seems very familiar to me from my days in North Dakota.

One of our "neighbors" in Harquahala Valley was Harry Porterfield. Strangely enough, he flew a Porterfield.

Does anyone remember a light airplane made in Alaska after the war. Similar to a Funk or Porterfield
