In November 1952, a U.S. Air Force C-124 Globemaster II crashed into nearby Mount Gannett in the Chugach Mountains killing all 52 people on board. The recovery effort has taken place every summer since 2012 by personnel from Alaskan Command, Alaska National Guard, Air Force Mortuary Affairs Operations, U.S. Army Alaska, 673d Air Base Wing, 3rd Wing and Detachment 1, 66th Training Squadron.
