Michigan's enduring aviation mystery: The unsolved tragedy of Northwest Orient Flight 2501

In 1950, Northwest Orient Flight 25-01 vanished over Lake Michigan during severe weather, resulting in the deaths of all 58 people on board. Despite extensive searches, the wreckage was never found. Efforts by the Michigan Shipwreck Research Association to locate the plane have persisted for two decades, but the search has been called off this year. Valerie Van Heest, the association's executive director, has been actively discussing the unresolved mystery.
