Vern Trakowski, Seward
Pilot Dead In Plane Crash
Centralia, Wn (AP).
The body of Vern D. Trakowski, 41, a veteran Alaska pilot, was found
Monday near the wreckage of his light plane in rugged timber country
15 miles east of here.
Trakowski, operator of the Alaska Scenic Air
Service at Seward, had been reported missing July I when he failed to
arrive at Seattle on a flight from Bishop, Calif. He was flying alone.
Charles S. Chester, Washington state’s
director of aeronautics, said Trakowski’s plane had crashed into the
top of a dead tree on the north fork of the Newaukum river. The plane
had not burned, and members of a ground party which went into the
scene Monday said it appeared Trakowski had run out of gas.
There was also an indication, they said, that
he had lost his way. The plane, in striking the ground, was headed in
a south easterly direction. It would have been pointed almost due
north if it had been on course.
The wreckage was found by a forestry crew.
