For all rotorheads

This was taken in 1963 at Larson AFB, WA. My father was doing an FCF on this as the flight engineer when it crashed. It was after lunch and the pilot was a diabetic and didn't know it until he blacked out doing touch and go's.

No one hurt (except Dad scraped his shin climbing out the open crew door to get the guys up front out thru the broken cockpit windshield. And the pilot's flying days came to an end.
