Dave McCurry Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I am writing a new book called Aircraft Wrecks Of The Pacific Northwest and was wondering if anyone has stumbled across any aircraft wrecks in the high country of WA and OR. I am needing some photos of these if anyone has any to offer to this book. I can use most any and am especially interested in some from the two Northrop F-89 crash sites near Salish Peak near Darrington, Washington. Thanks and I really appreciate your help.

Ben Beckerich Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I took this on Rainier, just under the Kautz glacier on the "Turtle" Â Â I assume its a piece from this: Â http://www.historylink.org/index.cfm?DisplayPage=output.cfm&file_id=7820 Â You're welcome to use the pic, if you promise to send me a bottle of fine single-barrel bourbon if the book makes you rich. Otherwise, a credit will do... but you have to list me as Handover Fistinpoon. That's my real name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave McCurry Posted June 29, 2014 Author Share Posted June 29, 2014 Ben, Â I would imagine you are probably right on that one. Was it below the Tahoma Glacier? Â Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave McCurry Posted June 29, 2014 Author Share Posted June 29, 2014 (edited) Handover, Â I'm not going to get rich by any means. Pilots and book writers are generally poor people. Interesting find though. The story of this wreck is in my second book; Aircraft Wrecks Of The Pacific Northwest, Volume 2.

brad Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Hi, Dave, I sent you a pm with my contact info. If you are still interested, I have several quality images of the F89's crash site on the Salish divide. Not saying you shouldn't try, but good luck with Chris(crazedmaniac)... He's, shall we say, quite recalcitrant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Olympic Peninsula: Tull canyon Trail scattered remains of B-17 that crashed in 1941 killing 6. It was discovered years later by hunters. It is not far from Tull City. If you don't already know about this and the location I can send more details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil K Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 (edited) Here is a pic of some wreckage up near the head of the creek that flows from Gold Lake into Lake Dorothy.

marcamato Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 About 10 years ago there were two Marine Corps F-18s that collided over the Gorge. There is probably a good bit of info on that floating around. I suppose that doesn't count as the "high country", but it's certainly PNW.

Hi, Brad. My dad's cousin was the navigator in one of the planes that went down on Salish. I'd love to get pics and more info on the crash site.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
