Wasn’t there another C133 that disappeared on the same route back then?
I have seen the one at the Pima Air Museum, looks like a 130 on steroids.
You are correct. 1611 went down about a year earlier in the same area. If I recall correctly, some debris was collected. Maybe a landing gear strut with wheels and tires attached and other parts. The cause is a mystery also.
Aircraft 2002 totally disapeared with never a trace or communication, as far as I know. I can still recall the drone of the turboprops during climb power. I still look up when I hear turboprops climbing.
