The plane was en route from Chile's southern city of Punta Arenas to the country's Presidente Eduardo Frei Montalva base in the Antarctic. A Chilean Air Force plane that went missing Monday night on its way to Antarctica is presumed to have crashed, said the Air Force on Tuesday. Chilean search teams recover human remains in the search for an Antarctica-bound plane that crashed earlier this week, prompting officials to declare none of the 38 people on board survived. Air force officials say they have not been able to locate the Hercules C … The Hercules C-130 aircraft lost contact around 6 p.m. local time, around an hour and five minutes after taking off from Chile, and was around 390 miles into its journey, Chile's Air Force said. The plane was flying in 17 crew and 21 passengers from the southern city of Punta Arenas to a military base on King George Island, which sits on the northern tip of Antarctica.
