Kenmore Air crash
Definition
Refers to aviation accidents involving the Kenmore Air seaplane service, a major regional carrier based in Washington state, often involving de Havilland Beaver or Otter aircraft landing on or taking off from bodies of water.
A term colloquially associated with the inherent risks of bush pilot aviation and the specific challenges of navigating the unpredictable weather patterns of the Pacific Northwest.
Examples
Flying a seaplane in Seattle is about as relaxing as trying to parallel park a tractor during a monsoon, hence why some people get nervous about every Kenmore Air crash report.
If you ever find yourself wishing for a more scenic commute than the Muckleshoot highway, remember that every Kenmore Air crash is just nature reminding us that gravity is an overachiever.
I told the pilot that the turbulent landing was a bit much, but he insisted a Kenmore Air crash is just an impromptu underwater real estate inspection.
