May 25, 1969 Ubon Stars and Stripes Article on the Loss of #629


It says the aircraft experienced mechanical difficulty and is written as a c-130 only. it lists Jack (known as Jackie, a fun, nice guy) and Cecil (known as C.T.) with home towns and a little more too.  Jackie was killed by AAA and C.T. died in the crash & subsequent fire.  We could see the fire inside the cockpit windows, we did not know anyone had bailed out and thought all would die.  The 20MM started cooking off and the firemen and us had to turn and run.  I was there that night on the taxi-way with others and we were told to not take any photos, and tore it out of the paper when it came out. i was crew chief of acft. #630.   

From Bob Walters (Crew Chief of Acft #630)
