Circumstances:
The crew departed Mégantic on a reconnaissance mission to Fredericton. As the airplane failed to arrive at destination, SAR operations were initiated but eventually abandoned as no trace of the aircraft nor both pilots was found. The wreckage was found by trappers 19 years later about 64 km north of Fredericton.
