This is the location of a crashed B-25 Bomber on Mount Timpanogos
in central Utah.
The U.S. Air Force B-25 crashed on the afternoon of March 9, 1955.
The day was stormy with the local mountains reporting 18" of new
snow. The plane carried three crewmembers and two passengers. The
plane began its fight in Great Falls, Montana, made a fuel stop at
Hill Air Force Base in Ogden, Utah, and departed for March Air
Force Base in Riverside, California. Sometime after 7:30 p.m. the
B-25 became lost in the weather and crashed on the east side of
Timpanogos. Killed in the crash was the pilot Major D.C. Holley,
co-pilot 1st Lieutenant H. E. St. John, Airman 1st Class D. H.
Dempsey, civilian crew chief M. J. McNalty and civilian D. R.
Cubbage.
To log a find, you must post a photo of yourself with your GPSr
at this location. Make sure that a nice chunk of wreckage is in the
photo! Given that this is a wilderness area, bushwhacking is
definitely discouraged!
