P-3 accident VP-26 1968 off Phu Quoc Island
The above P-3 (BUNO 153440) crashed into the ocean, killing all crewmembers,
during a Market Time patrol over the Gulf of Siam. It was just after I got
out of the Navy and I never heard the cause of the accident. We did hear
the accident was the result of "combat action", but as is so often the case,
no details followed. I knew some of the guys and would like to know what
happened.
Any thoughts or rumors appreciated.
