RE: The Disappearance of US Navy Plane 17254 - Chile, 1969 [ Part Two - The Search ]
Do you know how much of the searching was done in Zone 4? That would seem to have the highest elevations that the plane might have had trouble with.
The search seems to have been focused mostly in zones 2 & 3 ... the Navy seems to have surmised that since they never checked in from Curico they didn't even make it to Zone 4. Officially they don't state that the pilots deviated from their stated course, but we have reason to believe otherwise, as to did the Navy, based on their search priorities from the get-go.
