David Mckenzie, 50, vanished in early May 1999 while aboard a red and white PA-24 Comanche, tail number N8694P, flying from Haines to Juneau, Alaska. He was accompanied by Scott Croll. The aircraft’s last reported position was between Point Bridget and Mab Island, about 40 miles north of Juneau.

Weather in the area was reported as instrument meteorological conditions with rain, snow showers, and low clouds; VFR flight was not recommended. In what may have been a final transmission, the pilot said he was turning back toward Haines. An extensive multi‑platform search involving aircraft, vessels, and ground teams found no trace, and official search efforts were suspended on May 6, 1999. The NTSB listed the probable cause as Undetermined because the airplane was never recovered.

If anyone has information about the flight, the aircraft N8694P, or sightings in the Point Bridget–Mab Island area that spring, please share what is known.
