JONES ROBERT LEWIS

Narrative

During recon, the pilot decided to do a practice landing. During the approach the aircraft made a shallow diving left turn and struck the ground. Total loss - cause unknown. War Story: I was the crew chief on this Corbra when it crashed. I do not remember the incident because of injuries; however, I do remember getting some details while at Ft. Sam Houston's Brooke General Hospital in 1968. It seems that on 6/2/68 the crew chief, myself, was allowed to fly "last light recon" with an experienced pilot. I was told while in Texas, I was the first and last crew chief to fly like that. From: "Patrick Hutchison"
