A float-equipped Noorduyn UC-64A aircraft operated by Wings Over Kississing, was conducting a flight from Thompson (CKD6), MB to Big Sand Lake, MB with only the pilot on board.
During a glassy water landing, the aircraft impacted the water. Both pontoons failed, and the aircraft sank almost immediately. With difficulty, the pilot was able to exit the right hand rear door after unhooking some cargo netting, and swam to a damaged pontoon. Subsequently, the pilot was rescued by a boat. The aircraft was submerged and sustained substantial damage. The pilot received minor injuries.
