FEEDBACK	Reference the loss of XH877 on the 22nd of June 1965 over Tawau, Sabah, I was stationed at RAF Labuan and can remember reading a signals report on the crash. The pilot had shouted " eject...eject...eject" but the navigator for some unknown reason did not hear him: he was therefore, very surprised when his pilot suddenly and explosively departed! To his credit he soon followed. The report also had a typing error that became the talk of the communications wing, stating that the pilot had "ejaculated". I stand to be corrected on the above as this information is not from the horses mouth but I hope it all adds to your excellent website. Kind regards Barry Finch in email 8th March 2010

FEEDBACK	Hello, A minor correction for one of the entries in your database. On 6 August 1965 you list Captain Horacek and Lieutenant Johnson's aircraft 53-3919 as being an RB-57E. Baugher lists this aircraft as being a B-57B. I believe that to be correct as it is consistent with conversations I had with Larry Horacek. I flew with him hundreds of times over a six year period and I know from this that his mission in Vietnam was not reconnaissance but strafing and bombing. Further, he said that this was a “controlled bailout” after battle damage made a normal landing impossible. It occurred at the shoreline near Nha Trang and that both were rescued. The aircraft crashed on land despite efforts to shoot it out of the air. His ejection from 53-3833 on 17 April 1966 on the other hand he described as happening more or less at treetop level from a burning/exploding airplane. He was not sure if he even had full parachute deployment but he traveled somewhat horizontally through the tree tops. He had to cut his way out of his parachute and was rescued after about an hour on the ground in North Vietnam. . . . Chuck Ross, in email 21st July 2007 [data entry amended on 22nd July 2007]

26th August 1965	Ed didn't actually eject. Newton's First Law of Motion applied. He was thrown out of the aircraft, unexpectedly. He had opened the canopy, released all his fittings (oxygen, radio cords, seat and shoulder belts, etc.) as he prepared to bail out (no ejection system in the A1). Suddenly, he was flying through space (at night, low altitude about 200 feet over ground). He wingman saw his aircraft pitch into the ground and explode. Ed was reported KIA. His wingman was sure of it. Ed pulled the rip cord, took a swing in the chute, and landed. Two years later his family found out he was alive. Later A-1's were fitted with the Stanley Parachute Extraction System

Was flying very low when I was hit, my controls jammed, all the warning lights came on and I had shrapnel going through the cockpit. My #2 yelled I was on fire, a quick "I know" and I punched out using the overhead 'blind'. I think I must have been doing close to 400 knots and we were very, very low. All I recall is one of my boots flew off, and in the next moments I was on the ground." K. C. Cariappa
