OE Loss

UNE 2, 1965: At 1900 hours we had a late med evac. By 1910 hours two choppers were turning up with a full crew and six men from the Combat Recovery Team. They went to Hai Van Pass, the pass going north to Hue on the first mountain range. Two OEs were flying there and all of a sudden one plane saw the other do a hard right bank and disappear. As soon as the other OE turned around and found him, the first OE had crashed and was in flames. An Air Force rescue helicopter (Husky) flew out there with a fire bottle to help but crashed about 50 feet away. We didn't know why they crashed. Twenty minutes later four more planes came with some Nungs and landed them. We brought back the crew from the Air Force helicopter and all were alive. The two pilots of the OE died. The Nungs and the Combat Recovery Team stayed out overnight to guard the aircraft. [winkel]

This incident is on HMM365web sight in a diary kept by one of the squadron mebers. P.G Maynard
