Fourth person identified in Southwest Alaska radar site plane crash that killed 8
An employee of an Alaska fire protection company was among those killed last week in the crash of a government-chartered plane trying to land in foggy conditions at a remote radar site in Southwest Alaska. Trevor McWilliams was one of eight aboard the twin-engine turbo prop Cessna Conquest destined for the Cape Newenham Long Range Radar Site Airport on the Bering Sea coast, according to a Facebook post from his employer, Yukon Fire Protection Services Inc. The company, in operation since 1978, provides fire protection, alarm and suppression systems. McWilliams is the fourth person on the plane to be identified since last Thursday’s crash. As of Wednesday, authorities had not released the identities of the other four people on board the aircraft.
