Jet On Official
Training Flight
GRANTS, N.M., (UPI)
An Air National Guard F1C3
jet interceptor aircraft ac
cidentally shot down a giant
U.S. B52 bomber with a
Sidewinder missille Friday
on a training mission over
West central New Mexico.
Helicopter and ground res
cue units were rushed to the
scene of the crash, believed to
be in the vicinity of ll.SCD-foot
high Mt. Taylor.
It was not announced by Vr o
Air Force immediately hov
many men were aboard tho
bomber. A B52 normally car
ries a crew of six.
The Air Force said there was
one man aboard the x iuj,
which landed at its home base
of Kirtland Air Force Base near
Albuquerque, N. M., shortly
after the incident. He was not
permitted to comment publicly.
Missile Released Accidental! j
But Kirtland officials said the
Sidewinder, which was re
leased accidentally during a
simulated attack, made five
passes at the B52 before hitting
it on the sixth.
The eight-engine B52 was as
signed to Biggs Air Force Base,
El Paso, Texas.
There were no nuclear wea
pons aboard. The Sidewinder
does not carry a nuclear war
head. It is attracted by heat, and
its purpose is to seek out the
terrific heat produced by the jet
engines of an enemy aircraft.
On Training Flight
Kirtland officials said the
F100 was on an authorized
training flight, and that it and
the B52 had been "working to
gether" on the exercise.
The F100 pilot is assigned to
the 188th Interceptor Wing of
the New Mexico National Guard.
Kirtland officials said they
did not know whether the pilot
of the interceptor accidentally
released the missile or whether
it was released by malfunction.
