Bus 142

A 1940s-era Fairbanks city bus that became a sometimes deadly attraction to outdoor adventurers has been removed by helicopter from the remote side of the Teklanika River near Healy through a joint effort of Alaska's Department of Natural Resources and the Alaska Army National Guard. The Department of Natural Resources intends to negotiate with the University of Alaska's Museum of the North as the likely repository of the well-known historic "Bus 142".
