Reported aircraft: Lockheed P2V-7 — a different aircraft that carried the N442NA registration before this airframe.
Probable cause: The flight crew's failure to maintain terrain clearance during low altitude flight in low ceiling and visibility conditions. Contributing to the accident was the flight crew's failure to adequately monitor their location with respect to the rising terrain environment ahead, and, their lack of crew resource management communication as a crew.
