The wife of the pilot killed last year in a floatplane crash off Whidbey Island has become the latest to file a lawsuit against companies associated with the aircraft’s operations and manufacturing.

Jason Winters, a 43-year-old longtime commercial pilot, was among the 10 people killed when the single-engine De Havilland Canada DHC-3 Turbine Otter plunged into Mutiny Bay over Labor Day weekend in 2022.

Until Thursday, Winters was the only person on board whose loved ones had not yet filed a lawsuit. His claim and the four others previously filed say aviation entities, including Northwest Seaplanes and de Havilland Aircraft of Canada, are responsible for the victims’ deaths.

The lawsuit, filed in King County Superior Court, alleges Winters suffered “extreme, severe, relentless fear for the life and physical well-being” of himself and his passengers as the plane crashed.
