C-141 Starlifter Crash Site Tellico

C-141 Starlifter Aircraft Crash on Johns Knob just off the Cherohala Skyway.  It crashed in 1982, I  went  there today in memory of Dennis Sparks who died last week.  Dennis was the mission coordinator on this search. Some pieces still remain. Drew Berman went with me.

  1. I just went there myself and was unable to locate anything from the Aircraft I flew as a young airman in the Air Force. I would love to go try to find some pieces.

    1. I was there in May of 2019 ... lots of pieces all down the slope. A fascinating and eery site.

    2. I have a friend camping in the area and would like to visit the crash site. I assume from his comment there no sign or marker along the road at MM 9 on the Skyway note the crash site. Any details to exact direction would be welcomed!
