Air Force lab crash over San Pablo Bay spares crew
A four engine Lockheed flying laboratory with top secret radar gear crashed into shallow water near San Pablo Bay Friday night during a foggy approach to Hamilton Field. All 13 aboard survived with no serious injuries. Pilot Lt. Col. Russell Cheever kept the plane level before impact. The craft, designated C21, was part of a Western Air Defense Command unit under Brig. Gen. James Andrew and had been flown from McClellan Air Force Base to a test area over the Sierra Mountains. Rescue teams found the wreck in five feet of water after radio and radar signals helped locate it in the marshy outskirts. The mission and aircraft value are classified.
