North American B-25 Mitchell

The twin engine aircraft was performing a flight from Malmstrom AFB (Great Falls) to March AFB (Riverside) with an intermediate stop at Hill AFB in Ogden. After takeoff from Ogden-Hill AFB, bound for the south, the crew encountered poor weather conditions (stormy weather) and low visibility when the aircraft hit the east side of Mt Timpanogos (11,751 feet high) located about 28 miles southeast of Salt Lake City. As the aircraft failed to arrive at March AFB, SAR operations were conducted and the wreckage was found three days later about 300 feet below the summit. All five occupants have been killed.

The airplane departed Winnipeg Airport at 1330LT on an air interceptor exercise for 3 hours and 30 minutes. After 4 hours of flying, a standard range approach was being carried out under Instrument Flight conditions. At 3,000 feet MSL the port engine failed. Within 30 seconds the starboard engine also failed. Although the ground was visible from approximately 2,000 feet MSL it was night and in the forced landing attempt the aircraft stalled before contacting the ground. Three crew members were killed and three others were seriously injured.
