- Der Pilot befand sich auf einer strafing mission. Dabei dürfte das Flugzeug mit einem Hochseil kollidiert sein, es begann zu rauchen und stürzte schließlich ab. Der Pilot konnte sich per Fallschirm retten. Andere Flieger sahen wie der Pilot seinen Fallschirm zusammen sammelte und in den nahen Wald lief.
