My Dad and I went XC Skiing on Mt. Spokane today. The snow was great, but the fog was too thick to get any kind of a good view. Here are the pictures I got.
Mt. Spokane, eh? I think there might be a B-17 plane crash on Mt. Spokane, I'll look into it and see if I can come up with any information. I know there is snow now, but perhaps in the summer...
Maybe I was mistaken, I found something on a B-29, but cant seem to find anything on a B-17 in my records. Though, I am almsot positive that I have seen something somewhere about a B-17 accident around there.
1947, November 14th; U.S. Air Force B-29 # 2063, from Spokane, crashed on Mt. Spokane killing five crewmen. Two other crewmen in the rear of the aircraft survived with minor injuries.
