the 3246th TW crash landed at Eglin AFB on 27 October 1976.
(Doc Servo). - Image Scott White Paul Weber (USAF Major), witnessed this crash from the munitions storage area across the runway from the main base. Pilot was evidently doing a touch-and-go, and seemed to generated a PIO on touch-down (I could be wrong about this being a PIO...never saw the accident report, but it sure looked like it). Oscillations increased and airplane fell off on right wing and capsule was fired with the airplane about 60 degrees nose down at 100 feet or less. Capsule landed on the edge of the fire, popped open and crew exited at a high rate of speed. No serious injuries, if I remember correctly. 67-0116 crashed as a result of running out of fuel. The pilot called low fuel over the range, returned for a straight in landing but ran out of fuel on both motors prior to the threshold. He lost hydraulic power just prior to touchdown and bounced high twice before starting to go"nose down. Pilot pulled the handles and left the aircraft. The aircraft then landed on the center of the runway with a collapsed nose gear/section. The aircraft was blocked up in the far east hanger at Eglin in late 1976 and was in relatively good shape due to no fuel on board but the F1 tank area was destroyed from the rocket motor. - Paul Holmes I can confirm that F-111 67-0116 of the 3246th TW crash landed at Eglin AFB on 27 October 1976. I was living in Shalimar, immediately south of the base at the time, and have clippings about the accident.Best wishes, - Mark Sublette |

Crashed
and destroyed 18 January 1972 in Scotland (Ben Marselis) RAF Leuchars
(Doc Servo). Killed were LT COL Floyd B. Sweet and LT COL Kenneth
T. Blank (Doc Servo). 55th TFS, 20th TFW, tail code "JS". A member of the board of investigation states that weather was not a factor, and that eyewitnesses saw the aircraft from over a mile away. He says the accident occurred because the crew failed to extend the wings forward to the landing configuration following a high altitude navigation mission. The wings were at the 35 degree sweep when the aircraft entered the GCA pattern and when the base leg to final turn was initiated, the aircraft stalled and was too low to the ground to permit recovery. It was determined that the aircraft's stall speed in that configuration was approximately 235 knots. (WK) Crashed whilst on a routine ground controlled approach to RAF Leuchars, crashed approximately 975 ft on a snow covered 1,050 ft high mountain in the Hallyburton forrest area, near Burrelton, Perthshire, Scotland. approximately 3 1/2 miles south of Coupar Angus, 15 miles north west of Leuchars.

Crashed
and destroyed 9 August 1984 in a Barley field beside Lock Eye, near
Fearn, Ross-shire, Scotland. The aircraft was using the nearby "Tain" bombing range. The crew ejected and survived.(Richard Elliott) Kinloss UK. (Doc Servo) The aircraft went down after striking a large bird (probably a seagull) during a low-level run. The bird shattered the radome which shed pieces into both intakes. Although the engines were chugging badly, they were still producing thrust. The aircraft was lost because the alpha and beta probes had also been wiped out and the aircraft was porpoising severely at low altitude. The crew wisely elected to get out of it.(Rob Swigert). - News paper clipping image - Mike Kaplan Capsule was used for egress training at UH, then was acquired by the 8AF Museum and refurbished to display first class standard by Mike Kaplan as a FB-111A. |

Crashed
and destroyed 11 January 1973 near Crawley UK (Ben Marselis) Upper
Heyford (Doc Servo). 20th TFW Upper Heyford. Callsign Sewn 11. Crewed by pilot Major Bob Kroos and WSO Capt Roger A Beck. The main body of the aircraft fell near in North Crawley, in Buckinghamshire. An engine caught fire just after takeoff at 08:56, melted the rudder linkage so that it froze hard over, and the crew ended up flying around in circles trying to get back to Upper Heyford. The fuel dumping procedure gave rise to several UFO sightings that morning! The crew abandoned the aircraft at 09:47 after Kroos lost control of the aircraft. The capsule came down in a farm, and the startled owner came out and plied the crew with brandy, which rather messed up the USAF's mandatory blood-alcohol test! They were exonerated from blame.

Reported
by Dean Van Der Noord as being the first AMP F-111E delivered to the
USAF. It was delivered
to the 77FS at RAF Upper Heyford.
It was also the only AMP jet to fly in Desert Storm. (info: Batman) AMARC 11 October 1995 marked as 68-8050. Rob
Swigert adds: - Memory is failing me in my old age, pretty sure
it was 052 (or 051). (Ken Wealot corrects the above to tail
number 68-050).This aircraft had a Class B mishap, on the ground,
in Apr/May '86 when the LOX bottle exploded while parked inside
a hardened shelter. The crew chief that was present at the time
was nearly killed (he heard a hissing sound coming from the aircraft
and about ten seconds after he left the side of the aircraft to
call in the problem the bottle blew). The aircraft was all but cut
in two by the explosion. I was the investigating MO on the board
and found that it was a fluke accident (although preventable) -
literally a one-in-a-million occurrence. The aircraft was disassembled
and shipped to GD Ft. Worth for repair.) 2nd & 3rd images courtesy of Mike Kaplan. |

AMARC 16 October 1995; - Rob Swigert adds - Don't recall the "official" nickname for this bird, but we generally referred to her as "Zero Sick Eight". The aircraft flew like a champ as long as it remained at home station. Without fail, if we ever took it on a deployment it would break (hard break) on the first day and wouldn't fly again until it was time to go home. It's favorite food seemed to be MDAs - this bird went through more of them than all the rest of my aircraft put together. Image courtesy of Steve Bartlett - UH-April-1993 |  |
