Two hours into the flight while crossing the Yukon-British Columbia border, the last contact with the plane was in a radio position report received at 1:14 p.m. This report stated that the aircraft had passed over Snag, Yukon Territory, and five minutes later was expected to be over Aisihik This would be the last message after which nothing more was heard from the military transport. The four-engine aircraft, carrying 41 military personnel and three civilians, including an expectant woman and her infant son, had simply disappeared without a trace.
