Just a Little Detour
Monday, June 27th, 2011
In January of 1947 Cary Grant and Howard Hughes (the multi-millionaire movie producer/pilot/eccentric) went missing while flying a B-23 Douglas twin-engined bomber to Mexico for a vacation . Air-authorities began a search after the pair did not arrive in Amarillo, Texas as scheduled. They were eventually located safe and sound in Nogales, Arizona and did not give a reason for their detour.
