C-46 #41-24724 Expedition Photo Gallery

The aircraft was enroute from Kunming, China to Misamari, India. Pilot was apparently lost in extremely bad weather. Contact was very poor. Last radio contact:

724: "We are at 8,000 feet can you see my lights? Can you see my lights! We are still in the rain."
TE: "Negative on the lights."
724: "TC. TC. There's that mountain again. (30 second interval) Oh, we may hit it yet!. (Noise like lightning a few seconds later or possible crash of the airplane)

Ground bearings were erroneous. Aircraft not located and crew declared dead. Dead: 4.
