18 killed in crash of Air Force
plane
28 February 1984
BORJA, Spain (UPI) - A
U.S. Air Force transport plane on a training mission crashed into a
snow swept mountain in Spain while attempting an emergency landing,
killing all 17 Americans aboard and a Spanish officer, officials said
Wednesday. The wreckage of the plane, a Hercules C-130 turbo-prop, was
found by a search team about 12 hours after it crashed Tuesday evening
about two miles northwest of the village of Borja, Air Force officials
said. The plane was part of the 435th Tactical Airlift Wing based at
Rhein Main Air Base near Frankfurt, West Germany, and was flying a
parachute drop training mission. During the training maneuvers,
the plane was based at the air base at Zaragoza in northeastern Spain.
The cause of the crash has not been determined. The plane went
down after the pilot issued a distress call and said he was attempting
an emergency landing. Lt. Col. William Johnson, spokesman at the Air
Force's European headquarters at Ramstein, West Germany, said rescue
workers recovered all the bodies from the wreckage. The Americans
were not identified pending notification of relatives. They
included 10 Air Force officers, six combat controllers and an air
rescue specialist. The Spanish victim was identified as Capt.
Francisco Guardiola Davo, 30. CCT that perished; Victor Valle,
Eddy Clark, Larry Rainey, Jonathon Goerling, Roderick Gress, Emilio
Martinez, and Steven Ray. Information from The CCT Memorial Web Site
