[Scudrunner]

I flew by the C-47 pictured below and always hoped I could find the aircraft it was looking for a C-54 Skymaster.

Was that your last landing in it?

[Scudrunner]

slightly before my time.

Rumour I heard was both pilots heads where looking out the side windows and no one was flying, it hit "perfectly" on an up slope and skidded to a stop. Everyone walked away.

It’s gotta be in a lake, right?

[Scudrunner]

or smacked into the side of a mountain and got buried by avalanche.

bottom of Kluane lake, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kluane_Lake that fuckers big.

Also those mountains and glaciers are huge Its mind blowing when you look at a map and realize that glacier is 8 miles wide, 3 deep and 100 Miles long.

hard to tell from this video but those glacier flows you could hide a skycraper in the crevasses
