Last Known Activity
"Enemy retaliation against the 'Buzzards' caused a loss of one aircraft and its pilot, Captain Duncan P. Smyly. On November 11, 1967, Major Duncan P. Smyly and Lt. Kirk Brimmer were scrambled off the alert pad to support friendly troops in contact with the enemy. Captain Smyly was on a napalm pass when his aircraft was hit by enemy fire. His attempted ejection was unsuccessful."
