B-25D # 42-87457
HIstory Of Flight: This B-25 was on a routine navigation
training flight from Kelly Field, Texas, to Tucson. At 13 miles east of
Tucson, the pilot, Major Lorin Geil, requested permission to make a visual
approach, which was granted. Five minutes later, the aircraft crashed into
a canyon in the Rincon Mountains. Weather conditions at the time included
snow squalls and clouds that obscured the mountains. The plane was found
10 days later with the tail sticking out of the snow.
