GN Computer Express Flight 147 GN Computer Express Flight 147 was domestic computer flight from the So Cal Nevada Interstate Airport, Nevada, to San Francisco International Airport, California. On June 9th, 1975, a civilian operated B-25 Mitchell was used for the flight, the aircraft was leased from Air Metro California and operating for GN Computer Express when it crashed into a hill in Green Valley, California, killing all 15 occupants. - Flight : Flight 147 departed the So Cal Nevada Interstate Airport, with the destination airport being San Francisco International. On board the aircraft were 4 crew members and 11 passengers, mostly factory workers heading to their families. Weather conditions at the time of departure were described as perfect, and the flight was uneventful from take off to initial climb until the crew entered the California border. The Captain was informed about heavy fog and bad weather conditions around the area of the original flight plan. The ATC cleared the flight to choose another route to the airport, one of the suggestions was Green Valley, a small pond surrounded by wooded hills. The Captain accepted to choose the Green Valley route, and the flight did not report any problems during the way to the Valley. About two minutes before reaching the area, The Captain told the First Officer "Hey, It seems that this valley is foggy as well!". The Flight contacted the ATC and told him about the weather conditions in the area, the ATC told the crew that he had another aircraft flying behind them, and he requested them to hold until he could guide the other aircraft. The crew accepted and waited clearance to increase the altitude flight. The Flight was cleared to climb to 10.000 feet, while keeping clearance from the other aircraft, which was a Metro Air Nevada Lockheed L-1011 TriStar flying at 12.000 feet. The ATC operations went silent until 46 seconds later, when the TriStar crew reported seeing the B-25 entering the descend, the following transmission was sent: "Air Metro 933 Heavy, other aircraft in sight, Its unable to maintain altitude!". The ATC contacted Flight 147, the Captain told the ATC that they were trying to deal with a problem: "GN Express 147, we have a malfunction, please stand by". The ATC lost track of the plane about 20 seconds later. The TriStar crew reported seeing a big explosion in the heavy fog of Green Valley. - Rescue : Rescue operations arrived on the scene a few moments later, it was immediately known that all 15 occupants were killed. (Computer generated photo of Flight's 147 last seconds) Site : Green Valley, CA, USA Summary : CFIT, Spatial disorientation in Fog Aircraft Type : North American B-25 Mitchell Operator : GN Computer Express Registration : N6938C Crew : 4 Passengers : 11 Survivors : 0 Fatalities : 15 (all) Injures : -- Phase : En-route Nature : Domestic Scheduled Passenger Departure Airport : So Cal Nevada Interstate Airport, NV, USA Destination Airport : San Francisco International Airport, CA, USA Damage : Destroyed - Wreckage : The wreckage scattered all over the hill, small parts became tangled in trees, and the road located right next to the crash site was closed. Investigators determined that the aircraft impacted the hill at an angle of 69 °, while flying at a speed near the structure limitations of the airframe (The aircraft nearly broke up before the impact). (Impact illustration) The cockpit and nose section were completely crushed by the impact, it was impossible to recover all flight instruments, but the investigators managed to recover the Altitude indicator and Speed Indicator. An examination of the Speed Indicator found no faults with it, but the investigators couldn't completely determine if the Altitude Indicator was working before the impact. The tail section was substantially damaged, all flight control surfaces (Rudders/Elevators) were scattered across the hill. The main tail section came to the rest next to a tree. The mid-section of the aircraft was completely crushed and destroyed from the front, both wings did not separate from the main fuselage, but they were completely crushed and destroyed. The engines were destroyed, but investigators determined they working at the time of impact. The middle section was also crushed, It was determined that the crash was unsurvivable based on the wreckage examination. - Investigation : Based on the available evidence, eyewitnesses accounts, ATC recordings, and CVR tapes, the National Transportation Safety Board Determines that the probable cause of the accident involving Flight 147 as the following: The crew's spatial disorientation while flying in a traffic pattern near a larger aircraft in foggy weather conditions. Which resulted in an uncontrolled descent and impact with the ground. Contributing factors (1)- The lack of new technology on board the aircraft, and... (2) The possible failure of the Altitude Indicator due to water leakage.
