The Mystery of the Plane That Still Unsolved: Flying Tiger Line Flight 739

Pacific The mystery of the plane that mysteriously disappeared continues to be preserved.

Aeroplaneso to speak, turned to ashes and no trace or sound was left behind.

On March 16, 1962, Flying Tiger Line Flight 739 mysteriously disappeared over the Pacific.

Lockheed Super Constellation type transport plane set out from California to carry military cargo to South Vietnam. The aircraft proceeded to refuel in Honolulu, Wake Island, Guam and the Philippines. The plane had 96 passengers, who were Army Rangers, and 9 crew members, 5 men and 4 women.

While the first minutes of the flight went smoothly, the last part turned into great uncertainty. After taking off from Guam The last communication with the plane took place at 14:22. Although the flight crew initially reported that they did not experience any problems, shortly after the call, the connection began to be completely lost.

When the Guam Air Control Center could not communicate with the plane, it was understood that it was lost.

Search and rescue efforts Even if it started as soon as possible, not a single trace of the plane was found. The crew of a tanker reported seeing an explosion in the sky at the time the plane disappeared. According to what was reported, the explosion started with a vapor trail and then continued with red lights.

Due to the explosion Although it was thought that the plane crashed into the sea, no trace was found as a result of the search. It was revealed that the plane did not encounter any mechanical problems before the flight and that its maintenance was carried out regularly.

All of this brings one thing to mind: It might have been dropped.

The last stop of the plane was in Guam, where security measures were inadequate and the plane is unattended When it was revealed that it had been left in some way, suspicions that there might indeed have been sabotage on the plane quickly spread. On the same day, the same airline company encountered a similar accident. Although all of this is evidence that the plane was shot down deliberately, unfortunately no concrete evidence was found.
