She said the Lyncrest Airport airport is nearby and it's common to see planes overhead. Two people are dead following a plane crash near Deacon's Corner south of Dugald Road along the eastern outskirts of Winnipeg, according to RCMP. Jim Oke, president of the Recreational Aircraft Association of Canada, Winnipeg Area Chapter, said Friday is a sad day for the community. It had taken off from the Lyncrest Airport, he said. The crash site was difficult to access and could not be reached directly from the Perimeter Highway, but smoke could be seen billowing from the area, Hudson said.
