A de Havilland Beaver and a Bell 206L-4 LongRanger helicopter were about 1,000 feet above ground when they collided.
Katmai National Park is famous for bear watching and because it’s off the road system, most people get to the park via planes.
The accident took place at about 4:30 p.m. on Monday, near Lake Coville in a northern area of Katmai National Park and Preserve. The helicopter pilot was able to walk away from the incident, but he was still brought to Anchorage for further medical examination. “Pilots that come into the park essentially are in touch with each other and try to manage the traffic locally by talking to each other about how they’re approaching, what they’re doing, and being in contact with planes on the ground,” Sturm said. “But obviously, in this case, these two aircraft were not in communication and the accident happened as a consequence.”
