The float-equipped de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver was involved in an accident on Kaministiqua River, Ontario.
At the start of a ferry flight, the pilot failed to discontinue a take off after knowingly being in difficulties because of rough water caused by a fast water current and eddies. The pilot while taking off close to the left shore line allowed the current to yaw the aircraft to the left. As a consequence the left wing struck the shore and nosed the aircraft into the bank. The damage to the aircraft was substantial and the pilot received minor injuries.
