My fathers plane crashed! Need info please!
« on: October 09, 2008, 11:36:07 PM »
Hey guys I know this topic is brought up all the time but, I want to find this one out! My father was in the Oregon air national guard up into the 80's. He was crew chief on Uh-1 hueys and inspector on OV-1 mohawks! I dont know much about him being he was killed not to long after I was born! One story my mother always talks about is a mid air collision that happend over in Eastern Oregon in 2 OV-1 mohawks. My mother doesnt really know all the info on it. My dad was not on the aircraft when it collided, but he was supposed to be on that flight. No one was killed in the accident but I'm just kind of curious as to what happend! Any help is greatly appreciated! Maybe this will bring some closure to my mother being my father never let himself down for that one! <S> all   :rock



Oops should have posted in O'club! Didnt realize that until after I posted this! Sorry!  :salute

I have been producing their quarterly newsletter for about nine years and they are a great group of guys(as well as my sounding board for prop plane acm questions).  Brad can you PM me some more specifics such as name, approximate date, etc.?  I will then forward direct to my contact and see if he can help you out.
