On this bonus episode of CASCADE OF HISTORY, we present audio from the Flight 293 monument dedication ceremony at Tahoma National Cemetery from June 3, 2023. Flight 293 was a military chartered Northwest Airlines DC-7C that disappeared in the Gulf of Alaska on a flight from McChord Air Force Base near Tacoma, Washington to Elmendorf Air Force Base in Anchorage, Alaska. There were 101 souls aboard.

There remains future chapters to the Flight 293 story yet to be told, including the path of the Flight 293 Remembrance Act - bipartisan federal legislation introduced by Democratic Senator Patty Murray of Washington and Republican Senator Dan Sullivan of Alaska in February 2025 - and new interviews and new research shedding more light on the missing DC-7C and those left behind. Going forward, those chapters will be shared here on CASCADE OF HISTORY.
