It was trying to rescue the crew from a DC-6B. The DC-3 was not able to leave, and both crews were rescued by a different rescue team. The DC-3 was abandoned over winter and buried in a snowstorm. The DC-3 was later dug up, then buried by a sudden snowstorm, and dug up again. It still had enough battery power and fuel to take off and fly to Reykjavík: | ||
