Napoleon_Tanerite Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 (edited) Seeing word on Facebook that Holloman is reporting a mishap with a "manned aircraft". No words on type, nationality, or condition of crew. https://www.alamogordonews.com/story/news/local/community/2018/06/22/holloman-aircraft-crashed-wsmr-cancelling-military-exercise/726450002/ Edit: looks like an A-29, see below.

nsplayr Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 (edited) Heard from a friend of mine (and active board member here) about the crash and that, luckily, the person with minor injuries was another mutual friend of ours. He’s a truly great American & thank god he made it out safe. Fingers crossed for the other crew member. Edited June 23, 2018 by nsplayr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
