[Ansteorra] OT plane crash wreckage

[Steve Acker]

Greetings Lord Paedric,

I can offer this:

Since Randolph AFB here in San Antonio was the likely point of origin, I would call their Public Affairs Officer.  So I did.  He referred me to the Historian there, Mr. Bourgeois, who found record of two crashes, both involving Tweety Birds (T-33's) in '60 and '62.  He is looking into whether serno 529429 was one of these and will contact me with the results;  the who, what, when, where, how, and why's.
I will post the findings as soon as I get 'em.  :)

  My apologies for the off topic use of bandwidth, but I am looking for some information.
  A friend of mine has wreckage from a T-33A USAF jet trainer spread out across his wooded property near Franklin, Tx. He is curious about what happened to it, why it crashed, if the pilot(s) survived, etc. I have sent a request for info to the Air Force Historical Research Agency (AFHRA) but they say a response could take several weeks. We don't know when it crashed, but it was somewhere between 1952 when the plane was built and 1972 when his family bought the property. the plane's tail section is nearly intact, and we found a piece of fuselage with the serial # 52-9429A which corresponds to the tail number 29429. Can anybody suggest other avenues of research? I have several camera-phone pictures of the wreckage which I can email to anyone who might find them useful.
  Thanks in advance for your assistance.
