Mike Luers is leading a fundraising effort for the Yukon #2469 Mission to locate a U.S. Air Force C-54 Skymaster lost on January 26, 1950, en route from Anchorage to Great Falls. The aircraft had 44 individuals onboard, including 42 soldiers and a mother with her child.

Previous searches were hampered by severe weather and were abandoned. Project Recover will manage fundraising, employing technologies such as Synthetic Aperture Radar and AI models, with phase one estimated to cost $215,000. The initiative aims to provide closure for families of the missing passengers.
