Two F-84Cs of 58 FS, 33 FIG from Otis AFB, on delivery to the Kansas ANG in Wichita, ran out of fuel near Waynesburg, Pennsylvania. Pilot Donald Lynch in 47-1526 tried to land on a straight stretch of Route 218 near Spraggs. He departed the road to avoid a car, clipped off six telephone poles and came to a stop against a sycamore tree. John Ostler in 47-1524 came down in farmer Carl Hoy's field. Both aircraft were destroyed but there were no serious injuries. Photo by: Paul Slantis / Historic Pittsburgh This photo was added on 20 November 2021, and has since been viewed 454 times. |
