Safety history
- December 9, 1958Accident
The crew was completing a local night training mission at Altus AFB. After several circuits, the crew started a new GCA approach when the pilot-in-command requested climb to altitude for another jet penetration. Problems with stabilizer trim during overshoot caused the aircraft to lose height and to crash about 4 miles north of the airfield. A crew member bailed out and was rescued while eight other occupants were killed. Crew (816th Air Division): Maj Byard F. Baker, pilot, Cpt Melvin Eckstein,
