Re: First USMC USA Parachute Incident Aircraft ?
In the 06Apr25 accident Quartermaster Sergeant Mix was flying VE-7 A-5961, Paschal VE-7 A-5965. Mix was held responsible and it was recommended that he be no longer allowed to serve as a pilot.
Turning to 14Apr26, Master Technical Sergeant Mix was flying as a passenger in a DH-4B-1, A6399, that appears to have become lost in bad weather. Both occupants took to their parachutes, but Mix's snagged on the tail and he crashed with the aircraft. The pilot, First Sergeant N.W. Abbott, was also killed when his 'chute failed to open fully.
