  • December 15, 1965AccidentHull loss

    The crew was completing a supply mission from Elmendorf AFB, carrying various equipments for scientists based at the Cape Romanzof Weather Station. On approach, the crew encountered whiteout conditions and the pilot-in-command was unable to locate the runway so he decided to make a go-around when the airplane struck a ridge located few miles northwest of the airfield and crashed. The airplane was destroyed and all five crew members were killed. The flight was performed by the Air National Guard.
