Don Young ran for Congress in 1972 against Nick Begich. Weeks before the election, Begich's plane disappeared and was never found. Nevertheless, he won. So a new election was held, which Young won. He remained in Congress for 49 years ... until today, when he died aboard a plane.
Alaska Senator Ted Stevens, and Alaska Reps. Don Young and Nick Begich all died on planes. House Majority Leader Hale Boggs was from Louisiana but died alongside Begich while flying over Alaska
