Damm, any news on the fourth??

Not been a good couple of days. A 1900C freight dog crashed up in Alaska with two fatalities, literally just yards away from the crash site that killed Ted Stevens.

Damm, photo says it all..... No fourth crewmember for some reason. RIP to all three. Pilot was a female Naval Academy grad.
