Saw this picture in the Key West Paper today and thought it would be interesting . The seaplane apparently sank after the photo.There are many Parkers in the Keys, but most of us are just fishing. delidon

Does anyone know when this seaplane accident occured? My daughter just flew on this plane (N209KW) to the Dry Tortugas over Spring Break this past April. Kinda scary..............

Capt Keith, not to worry this was not a crash. The boat sank while being towed form the Dr Tortugas to Key West. The company is having more troubles though. Yesterday their other plane hit a buoy on takeoff and had to return to Fort Jefferson and five people were stranded at the Fort overnight. Seems as if there will no flights to the fort for a while.
