This is an interesting article on the disappearance of congressmen Nick Begich and Hale Boggs 50 years ago. My brother was taking flying lessons at Pan-Alaska and had met Don Jons a couple of times in Fairbanks. I have not read all the other articles mentioned but it is odd that there was no further radio contact, you would think there would have been if they were fighting weather. I believe the requirement for an ELT to be installed came after this flight.
