Another Crash
The Pensacola News Journal reported that yesterday afternoon an aircraft assigned to NAS crashed in Georgia killing 3 with one still missing. I have been waiting for identification of the crew, but with one still missing, officials will probably wait.
The aircraft was a T-39N Sabreliner assigned to Training Air Wing Six at NAS Pensacola. This was probably the standard low-level navigation training flight that is flown from Pensacola to Tennessee and back. In 2006 another T-39N flying that mission crashed in the same general area of North Georgia near the Tennessee border.
Although the aircraft belongs to a Navy unit, the unit trains personnel for the Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force and foreign countries, and has US Air Force instructors.
