And Boggs’ pilot was a knucklehead not to be on an instrument flight plan in those conditions.
Many small aircraft utilize the highway system in the interior to transit to Southeast instead of going along the coast, come over the Haines Pass.
I wouldn't fly on a small plane from Anchorage to Juneau when there is Alaska Airlines that was flying 727s at the time.

My dad used to live in Fairbanks, and bush pilots crashed all the time, but this guy was not a bush pilot. They launched a massive search for him for months I mean he was in the succession line to be president and but for this he would have been Tip O’Neal. Imagine the pork barrel money that would have poured into Louisiana etc. we would have had bridges everywhere etc.
There is some seriously fricked up stuff going on in Alaska that’s unexplainable but I think he was killed and they used that for cover. Why no debris is strange though, if he was blown up they would have found something. They did put hundreds of boots on the ground in that pass.
It was a volunteered free flight the guy did to get publicity for his local air service. I suspect he was in fact a spook contractor and they were flown somewhere else and eliminated, maybe underground military base etc.
Fun fact: after this a law was passed requiring transponders on all planes which kinda supports my theory.
What I know from my Dad and living in Alaska. (70s)
It’s bigger than you can possibly comprehend, and sparsely populated. We drone 8 hours on major Alaska highway from Fairbanks to Anchorage and passed one car one time but had to stop for a caribu herd, and Moose 3 or 4 times.
2) it’s incredibly beautiful and can be dangerous, you don’t wonder off by yourself.
3) the people that have breached the threshold of no longer being greenhorns, (2-3 years maybe ) are typically incredibly self sufficient and aware.
4) Everyone was willing to help anyone in trouble, broken down etc as your life may depend upon it one day
5) Everyone war from the South, typically oil production or Southern states like Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Oklahoma etc.
6) Everyone back then seemed to be an alcoholic. It’s hard to deal with 3 months of total darkness and minus 50.
7) Mosquitoes are worst in Summer than in Louisiana.
8) People were not liberals but also had tremendous respect for outdoors, wildlife etc. You didn’t litter etc.
9) According to my dad, everyone or their spouse was a spook or something secret with military.
10) Alaska is a beautiful strange place

Fact: JFK criticized and attacked the deep state and even fired the father of the deep state, before getting assassinated.
JFK’s scumbag father was already deep state. JFK wasn’t a holy boy and some outsider

There was a guy who claimed he put a bomb on the plane for the spooks or something then he married the Alaska Congressman’s wife.
Here's an article on the bomb theory from what appears to be a mainstream aviation publication. It notes that the pilot was very experienced, which I have heard elsewhere. Experienced pilots make mistakes all the time, but he wasn't some rookie in over his head.
