 Additional Information
Last Known Activity:











The B-52B aircraft was shot down by a F-100 of the 188th Tactical Fighter Squadron belonging to the New Mexico Air National Guard.  A firing circuit electrical fault caused an inadvertent launch of a Sidewinder Missile (AIM- 9).  The wreckage was found on Mount Taylor, NM.

 

   
Other Comments:

Concerning the shootdown of B-52B "Cuidad Juarez" on April 7,1961 by an ANG F-100, I have attached a picture of Lt. Glenn V. Bair who was killed in that crash.  Glenn was my best friend and roommate during navigator training at Harlingen AFB, TX in late 1959, and the picture is from the Harlingen yearbook.  Since Glenn was in class 59-17N and was commissioned in October, 1959,  he would likely have been a 1st Lt upon his tragic death in April, 1961.
