  • N156XD @ NTU - This aircraft crashed at NTU 26 Jun 1998 about 2 months after this shot was taken. My camera was used to document the crash by the pilot but he kept the film. This aircraft was used to train the fleet offshore. The white pod is an electronic pod. - by Hicksville Kid by Hicksville Kid @ NTU

 This former Royal Danish Air Force TF-35 Draken, operated by Flight Test Dynamics under contract to the US Navy, crashed on June 26, 1998 while making an emergency landing at Naval Air Station Oceana, Virginia. It was substantially damaged as it impacted the ground short of the runway after the pilot successfully ejected from the aircraft on final approach.
