During a night-time training sortie the pilot experienced a malfunctioning GPS system. While trying to solve this the pilot entered worse weather condition while making manoeuvres to deconflict with his wingman. The pilot then suffered spatial disorientation and suffered from a controlled flight into terrain with no attempt to eject. The pilot, capt. Durwood Jones, didn't survide the crash.
