Incidents
- On April 24, 1997, a Hawkair Bristol 170 Mk.31 ( aircraft registration C-FTPA ) was on the 80-kilometer cargo flight from Wrangell Airport ( Alaska ) to Bronson Creek Airport ( British Columbia ). On landing, the right wing came into contact with the ground. The plane peeped and rushed into a ditch. The trigger was presumably the fatigue fracture of a bolt in the chassis suspension. All three crew members survived. The machine was damaged beyond repair. It was the last accident involving a Bristol 170, a type that was last used in 2004 - after 59 years of operation.
