Re: F-100D - 56-3223 - crash 2 August 1963 - 48th TFW

Received necessary documents: failure of horizontal stabilizer control system during navigation training flight. Two-ship formation flying from RAF Lakenheath on a hi-lo-hi mission to a fictional target near Chaumont, France, turn back and straight home. For one F-100 the flight ended at Nevele, Belgium... Pilot was a USAF major, name left blank.

Not happy times for 492nd TFS: two weeks or so before two of its F-100's had collided off the English coast, with one drowned pilot (tangled in parachute) and both planes lost...

Regards,
Leendert
