Default The Day After

C-124 with one engine still running a day after the crash

It pranged at Cambridge Bay, NWT, Canada (CYCB) during the construction of
the DEW Line in 1955. No fatalities. The wreckage was bulldozed out onto
the
sea ice afterwards and sank in the spring. I wonder how much power that
R-4360 was making?

Spent 14 months and 8 days on the DEW line in 66 - 67 (Pin Main Cape
Parry) I can add a bit of trivia Cambridge bay Dew Line site was Cam
Main. We had a C46 crash - well lost a landing gear and they found
another one and brought it up and made a working C46 out of the two -
I'll look in the files to see if I have any images.
