Comments:
It is speculated that Major Glenn Hessel had a heart attack during the flight. What is known is that his wing man, who was flying beside him, said that he was slumped over and was not responding to radio calls. Aircraft was in augmentor when it hit the ground. Squadron mates say he was very well liked in the unit.
