Navy to try to recover remains of aviators killed four decades ago

[MaineDem]

NORFOLK, Va., Aug. 1 — More than 40 years after a Navy plane hunting Russian submarines during the Cold War crashed on a glacier in Greenland, a Navy team is setting out to recover the last of the victims' remains.

The Jan. 12, 1962 crash killed all 12 aboard, but not all were recovered. On Monday, a Navy team will depart from Norfolk on a mission to bring the final remains home.

The P-2V Neptune aircraft, equipped to track Soviet submarines, went down during a routine reconnaissance flight from the naval station in Keflavik, Iceland.
