ONE OF THE SURVIVORS STATED THEY WERE FLYING ACROSS THE FACE OF A MOUNTAIN & STARTED A LEFT TURN UP THE MOUNTAIN. AS THEY MADE THE TURN THEY REALIZED THEY WERE TOO LOW. WHEN THEY STARTED THEIR TURN TO FLY OVER THE HILL THEY WERE EXPECTING THE TERRAIN TO BE LEVEL ON THE OTHER SIDE BUT INSTEAD THERE WAS ANOTHER HILL. THEY WERE FLYING ABOUT 300-400 FT AGL BEFORE THEY STARTED THEIR TURN INTO RISING TERRAIN. THE WRECKAGE WAS LOCATED ON THE MOUNTAINSIDE AT THE 9,100 FT LEVEL.
