On the morning of Dec. 8, 2021, Merrill Field (MRI) was finishing up snow removal operations from a winter storm the day before. At Anchorage International, TransNorthern 123, shortly after takeoff, experienced a loss of engine power and requested to return for landing. Brent Eber and Nathan Midthun, who was working as Controller in Charge, jumped into action as they heard TransNorthern 123 say, “Mayday, we are putting it down at Merrill! Runway 7 at Merrill, Runway 7 at Merrill!”
