I deleted the return to Buochs flight plan from our ATC systems yesterday around 12utc, knowing that it probably won’t be able to fly again but we didn’t know that the aircraft just sinked in the lake at that time.

It’s nice to have survivors during the "crash season" (summer with plenty of single piston and sailplanes).
