My father was an insurance underwriter for the company that insured this aircraft. I got to see a slide show presentation of the investigation including Kodachrome slides and a copy of the CVR transcript with the infamous forty four hund.... remark. Before the days of internet and instant access to data, this left a lasting impression on me to to see the findings.

My dad was the commanding officer of the Civil air patrol in El Dorado. I remember this very well as I flew with my dad many hours searching for this aircraft.

Thanks for posting this.

My father, Fred Tumlinson, was the co-pilot on this flight.

I have a copy on disk that Jeff gave me last year. I understand that you are considering an update for the anniversary next year.
