I remember when the story came out. They were having a hard time convincing any military personnel to come out and look at it.

There was a plane crash near the east summit of Mount Daniels. Bill Prater showed me some parts from this accident back in 1986.

Does anyone have any crash site photos of the Mt. Constance C-141 in the Olympics that I could use in a book story? Thanks, Dave

Last June while Geo caching I came across what appeared to be plane wreckage in a area north of Dayton. At the time there was road construction going on and thought that this wreckage was exposed as a result of that construction. The GPS coordinates are N 47*19.297 W 123*19.668.

Seems like I remember some airplane debris on the West slope on Mt Washington (ONP). Near the bottom of West Face.
Interesting. Is there a known wreck in that area? And is that part of a climbing route? I thought the climbing routes were east side.

"Interesting. Is there a known wreck in that area? And is that part of a climbing route? I thought the climbing routes were east side" Phil, not on one of the climbing routes. It's on the West side. It's been a number of years since I was there. It's on the way to Lake Ellinor on the West side. By the way, I picked up (garage sale) an interesting map from early 1940's. (Metsker's map of the Puget Sound Country). This map showed some abandon trails and shelters that I was unaware. You might be interested in looking at it. rick

I heard about an Army Air Corp transport that crashed into Mt. Rainier during WW2 and they left it there with all the bodies inside. Later I think it becamse some kind of momument.

[-url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans-Canada_Air_Lines_Flight_810]Trans-Canada flight 810[/url] that crashed into Slesse Peak
There is a pretty good story about this one: In 1978 we climbed the NW face of Slesse and encountered another climber on the summit who knew the somewhat involved descent route but asked if he could rappel with us. His name was Jack Bryan from the Vancouver area. He had been competing with Fred Beckey to do the NE buttress of Slesse in the early 60's but lost out to Fred on that route. Jack then went on to do the first ascent of the NE(?) peak of Slesse via it's east side. He was certainly the first to come upon the wreck of Trans Canada flight 810 which flew directly into the subpeak of Slesse (I believe in 1963). He (Jack) said that the nosecone of the aircraft was embedded into the rock near the top of the peak. And on a ledge below the nose of the plane, Jack found a women's watch with a broken crystal but looked otherwise to be OK. He took the watch to a jeweler and had the crystal replaced. The watch was in perfect working order and he gave it to his wife. On a later approach to the NE buttress with Jon Tarver also in 1978, we walked by numerous plane parts including an engine with the front two cylinders mashed and missing but with the rest of the engine largely intact.

Ditto for the crash on the east peak of Mt Daniel. Also, there's a crash of a small plane on a sub-peak of Gunn Peak.

The small plane crash near Gunn Peak (locally known as Wing Peak) happened in the 60's. From http://www.historylink.org/index.cfm?DisplayPage=output.cfm&file_id=2047
Quote:
Wing Luke and two others died on May 16, 1965, while returning home from a fishing trip in north central Washington. He was 40 years old. The small plane he was in crashed in the Cascade Mountains. It was three and a half years before the wreckage was found and recovered.
The Seattle Asian Art Museum is named after the Seattle City Councilman.

There is airplane wreckage on the south side of Mt. Pilchuck and wreckage on the SE slope of Devils Peak. Don't recall ever hearing the stories of either of those.
