What happened
During an approach to Ogden-Hill Air Force Base, an aircraft flying at approximately 6,500 feet experienced a sudden loss of control. The aircraft entered a steep dive and struck the ground in a field situated in Plain City, which is roughly 10 miles away from the military installation.
The impact resulted in the total destruction of the aircraft. There were two fatalities among the crew members on board.
Findings
Investigations into the accident determined that the crash was caused by the failure of the lower attach angle bolts on the right wing. This structural failure led to a loss of aerodynamic stability during the flight.
