Air Force Instructor Among Medal Winners After Unusual Crash
One of a group of United States Air Force instructors with the West German air force was about to receive the Air Medal for safely landing another F104 two months earlier. A lightning strike had smashed the plane’s nose and knocked out 90 percent of its controls. He was cited for extraordinary flying skill in one of the most unusual incidents in American aviation history, which led to the cancellation of the air show.
