It appears that NWA managed to retain 30 loyal
customers for fifty years. It is my understanding that this is an
unusual event, that this may be the only customers which have not
been so pissed off at NWA that they do their best to fly other
airlines and to tell as many other air travelers as possible
about NWA's inferior service and general poor attitude towards
travelers.
It was reported on the Airline list server that
a Northwest Douglas C-54G, registration: NC95422, flight number
442, which was lost on the 12th of March 1948, was located by
Alaska State Police yesterday (Monday 7-26-99). It was
found at the 6,500 foot level of Mt Sanford, in a National Park
180 miles NE of Anchorage. There were reportedly 30 passengers
aboard when it went down.
