The aircraft took-off on a dual Instrument Flight Rules
(IFR) practice flight under radar surveillance.
Approximately 30 minutes after take-off, the aircraft
was heading towards base when, at a distance of 15
miles, the aircraft entered weather and disappeared
from the radarscope. The wreckage of the aircraft was
subsequently discovered in August of 1997 at 50
degrees 10 minutes 30 seconds north and 123
degrees 12 minutes 30 seconds west. The
investigation was re-opened. Both pilots, apparently,
had ejected from the aircraft before it crashed. Neither
the seats nor the pilots have ever been found. The
aircraft canopy was previously found in 1974,
approximately 3 miles north-north-west from the crash site.
