Memorial Conducted at B-52 Crash Site
It was "gut-wrenching" for the members of the
search party to come upon the destruction caused by the crash of a B-52 bomber
on Elephant Mountain in January 1963. And it was just as difficult for five of
the searchers to be standing at the remote crash site four decades later. With
the gruesome details of that tragic day still etched in their minds, four former
Air National Guard members and a Millinocket man were among those who paid their
respects Saturday to the seven airmen who died in the fiery crash. The two sole
survivors - retired Capt. Gerald Adler of Davis, Calif., and the aircraft
commander retired Lt. Col. Dante E. Bulli of Nebraska - who ejected from the
plane before it crashed, also were recognized and honored Saturday.
"I say odd, because when
you stop to think about it, it has to seem pretty
strange to the modern day snowmobilers, or anyone else
for that matter, that a group of men would climb on 36
year old iron and expect it to get them into the North
Maine Woods and back."

Allagash 85 by Steve Campbell
“I guess there is something to be said for the
engineering and workmanship of these earlier
machines. As crude as they were in the formative
years, they worked due to the perseverance and
forethought of the pioneers that were building them
and using them.
These pioneers are the people who I would like to
dedicate this trip and this story to - the
individuals that made the sport of snowmobiling what
it is today. The reason I organized this trip was to
recognize these people, the history of snowmobiling,
and especially to my father, E.B. Campbell.”
