Pilot's Heroic Stop Saves McNamara and Staff
In fog at Paris Orly Airport Captain Meredith Sutton aborted a takeoff to avoid a collision with a landing civilian airliner. The U S Defense Secretary Robert McNamara and Assistant Secretary Arthur Sylvester were aboard the big K135 transport and escaped harm as tires blew and the aircraft halted about 500 feet from the runway end. The incident came as McNamara prepared to fly to Saigon for another assessment of the Vietnam conflict amid rising Viet Cong activity and a military junta in South Vietnam.
