C-54
This C-54 was found abandoned along a rocky creek bed. The story goes that the pilot was flying low, so as not to be detected by anyone far off. No word on why, specifically. But he flew too close to a large pine tree and clipped one of his engines. The pilot made an emergency landing here at Ganes Creek, Alaska – which is essentially in the middle of the wilderness. Why would the pilot be laying low here? What did he have on board the C-54 when he was forced to land? Unfortunately, we’ll never know the full story of this abandoned aircraft.
