TORONTO, Ontario (AP) -- A single-engine plane carrying at least nine people crashed Saturday in snowy weather shortly after taking off from a Canadian island in Lake Erie. The airline's president said there did not appear to be any survivors. The plane, a Cessna 208 Caravan, was bound for Windsor, Ontario, across the border from Detroit, and crashed about 20 miles north of Sandusky, Ohio.

Seeing this report from the Lake Erie crash I suspected it was outbound from Peelee Island, and upon further checking, I find that to be the case......very small piece of land off the tip of Pt Peelee.......southern most land in Canada.......
