Crashed near Osan while operating a close air support mission on detachment from Misawa, Japan. The pilot ejected safely at treetop level at 14:35 hours. The aircraft was flown into the ground due pilot distraction and spatial disorientation.
Awesome jet it was my first jet as a A1C brand new when I got to put my name on the NLG door as ADCC. SSgt Tim Hucks was the DCC back then. Always flew good and got us high flyer quite a few times. I was stationed at Osan AB ROK 36th FS when the 13th came over to fly with us during Team Spirit/Foal Eagle 1993 when 492 crashed one foggy morning. Sad I just went to see it the day before and chatted with the current DCC on it.
