Hi, Does anyone know who was flying N96103 when it crashed. The plane was in "Alone in the Wilderness" which is a film about a man who built a cabin in the wilderness of AK. and lived there alone until he was 82. Google "Alone in the Wilderness". The plane was destroyed 8 March 1975 and the pilot killed. Thank You for any info. Jim Marcus---MarcusJim@gmail.com
