More detail on this person: Joe K. Hornberger died on 5/28/67 (DDT) in the same UH-1H with Dennis L. Knoll. I witnessed the accident at Ft. Knox. The two UH-1Hs destroyed were #66-16032 and #66-16055. The other two pilots were injured but obviously lived. I don't remember which ship Hornberger & Knoll were flying. 10 of 11 men aboard their ship were killed; 1 of 10 was killed in the other. All who lived were injured and/or burned. The two meshed main rotor blades. Charles E. "Chuck" Oualline, July 2000.
