Comments:
Crashed 20 miles northwest of Luke AFB on White Tank Mt. Range at 18:05 hours. The cockpit landing gear lights indicated an unsafe undercarriage. While attempting to resolve the problem, the aircraft ran out of fuel. The instructor pilot, Major Kevin Grove, and a German exchange pilot, Captain Stephan Kleinheyer, were recovered safely.
