29 July 1967
 

Coming up on a day I won't forget, 29 July 1967, anybody know what happened that day?

You got it.

Damn, never heard this one. Thanks for the education.

I have to think back....I was nine....I think I remember my parents talking. Something about my Uncle Lou.....

Obviously, before my time, but I learned about it as it was used as training when I was in the Naval Reserves.

I recalled as I had been part of an exercise involving the Forrestal awhile before the accident. We had an FJ3 crash into parked planes and the island in a previous not so devastating accident that burned half our flight deck off.

Thank you for the history lesson, very informative. May I ask, how are you involved, if at all, in the incident?

Yes, I had heard that they started using it in training.

I was on board at the time.
