This news report was July 2, 1960. The aircraft was shot down on July 1, 1960. Two men, McKone and Olmstead, survived the shootdown and were put in Lyubyanka Prison in Moscow for six months. The other crewmembers all died.



Here's a photo of John McKone taken during our reunion in Dayton, Ohio in early September 2003. McKone posed for this photo in front of our C-130 60528 memorial in the AF Museum Memorial Park.
