I was assigned to the 314th TAW at the time and remember that we were told 0545 was found on the back side of the hill configured for max lift and max power. That the pilot was attempting to clear the hill and was just too low and too late. Attributed unofficially on base to the Navigator being off on direction and required altitudes. I remember that it took days to find the crash site as it was not on what would have been an expect route and that the CPI box only let out one beep before going silent.
