A medevac flight was en route from Winnipeg to Churchill, explains the RCMP, when it attempted to make an emergency landing at Gilliam airport. The Super King Air 200 aircraft attempted to land on a frozen lake adjacent to the airport’s runway, where the badly damaged aircraft would eventually come to a stop.
