A Douglas C-54D-DC Skymaster, operated by Alaska Air Fuel, was destroyed when it crashed into a steep hill on the bank of the Tanana River, about six minutes after takeoff from Fairbanks International Airport (FAI/PAFA), Fairbanks, Alaska.
Both pilots perished.
ADS-B data shows that the airplane was climbing to about 1500 feet before it began a descending left turn towards the river. An online video shows that one of the engines on the left side exploded, followed by the airplane entering a steep left bank less than 10 seconds later.
