Two commercial jet pilots who have sunk more than 10 years and a small fortune into solving the mystery of a fatal plane crash on Mount Sanford 54 years ago will give a talk today about their findings.

Kevin McGregor of Colorado and Marc Millican of Anchorage will show video clips and more than 100 slides about their confirmation, in 1999, of the wreckage of Northwest Airlines Flight 4422.

Their presentation is part of the free Alaska Airmen's Association weekend-long aviation trade show. McGregor and Millican will speak at 2:30 p.m. in the FedEx hangar off Postmark Drive.

Flight 4422, a chartered DC-4 carrying 24 merchant mariners and a crew of six from Anchorage to New York, crashed straight on into a cliff on 16,237-foot Sanford on March 12, 1948.
