On December 11th, 1953, a military crew was in flight from Carswell Air Force Base to Biggs Army Airfield when inclement weather struck, causing the pilot to crash into the western side of the Franklin Mountains. All nine people on board were killed. Although the site was initially cleaned up, much of the debris was put back in place as a memorial, and can be viewed from above on the Ranger Peak Trail.
