>>> A plane crashed into Denali National Parkland last week. No identification of the country of origin as it seemed some type of military plane.

No the plane was identified. I even found and posted a picture of the specific airplane. It had unique nose-art.

“The plane that went down sunday was a C-123 J model called “Large Marge” a retired military plane from the vietnam war era, the plane was being used to haul a generator from the Mat Su Valley area to the nome area, they flew through the cantwell area to avoid increased traffic due to the air show, There where three men aboard”

From Wikipedia....On December 4, 1978, the crash of a Learjet 25C at Anchorage International Airport killed five people. Ted Stevens survived; his wife, Ann, did not.[19] The building which houses the Alaska chapter of the American Red Cross at 235 East 8th Avenue in Anchorage is named the Ann Stevens Building in her honor.
