A charter aircraft carrying eight people crashed on Thursday at a remote radar base in western Alaska, and all occupants were killed, according to the U.S. Army. The accident occurred near the Cape Newenham long-range radar station airport, about 450 miles west of Anchorage, Alaska. "This is a devastating loss for our military family and the communities we serve," said U.S. Air Force Lieutenant General Robert Davis, commander of the Alaskan Command, North American Aerospace Defense Command's Alaska Region, and the Eleventh Air Force, in a statement. The radar base is managed by the Pacific Air Forces Regional Support Center. It is part of a network of remote radar sites that track aircraft operating in Alaska's airspace and along its borders, the Alaskan Command explained in its note.
