Where did this happen? Do you remember which squadron was involved? Do you have any other photos that would identify the plane or squadron?
I was a Marine RIO in an F-4 Squadron from 1965 through 1967, then a bombardier/navigator in an A-6A squadron from fall 1967 through 1968. I may actually have known the crew involved in this incident. Dan Matyola On Fri, May 15, 2009 at 6:00 PM, Walter Hamler <[email protected]> wrote: > No, I was in the photo lab a mile away.
