Events

March 5, 1964: Lt. Vincent D(eWitt) Patterson, 33, (USNR) was killed when his A-4B Skyhawk crashed about 12 miles east of Nellis AFB while on a cross-country flight to Nellis from NAS New Orleans. Reno Evening Gazette, March 6, 1964. The pilot was on a routine cross-country IFR training flight and was cleared IFR at 31,000 feet. Very shortly after takeoff he cancelled his IFR reporting a compass malfunction and stated he would proceed VFR. Approximately an hour later he requested and received a change of flight plan and filed for an enroute time of 2 hours with 2 hours 30 minutes of fuel remaining. One hour and 20 minutes later he requested the winds at 35,000 and 40,000 feet. Approximately 2 hours 30 minutes after refiling he contacted the destination control tower and told them he was 15 minutes out, requested landing instructions, reported fluctuating fuel pressure and asked for a DF steer. Some ten minutes after initial contact the pilot informed the tower, he was passing through 9,000 feet and a short time later the plane crashed nine miles east of the base. The pilot ejected at an estimated altitude of 10 feet, NAN Pettibone August 1964.

November 26, 1969: Lt. William Bertsch, 27, ejected safely from his jet at 400 feet waiting until he was open field last night with his seat coming to rest about 100 feet from the impact site. His 4CB (sic) slammed down only yards from a cluster of homes at Gardner Lane and Miller Ave. at the N end of the Freeway Airport. He was on final for AMARG AFB after a flight from San Diego. Tucson Daily Citizen, 27 November 1969.
