Laurent & Tony:

Thanks for your replies. I did a little more digging and it appears that Capt. Gibson was recovered and his remains repatriated. He is buried in Saint Clair Cemetery in Greensburg, Pennsylvania. See http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg...&PIpi=52597103.

Interesting that there is no corresponding German crash report attached to Gibson's MACR. Given the nature of the accident as described in Lt. Murphy's witness statement, it seems possible that Gibson's plane came down some distance from Dustin's.

Thanks again for your replies.

Best regards,
Paul Dame
