More detail on this person: 101 ABN in
Kentucky. Aircraft crashed in a windstorm less
than 1 mile from the airfield. Pilots (Group & BN
Safety Officers) tried to beat a thunderstorm
flying back to Campbell AAF. Aircraft was found at
first light the next day, with the only
recognizable feature being the tail boom sticking
straight up out of the ground. This information was last updated 05/18/2016

Additional information: I was one of the pilots
that searched for Jeff that night. They were
actually outbound from CAAF to retrieve LTC T G
Allen from the field during a Bn Exercise. ( I
don't have direct knowledge of that fact, but they
were on standby at CAAF in support of Bn Staff
during the exercise) There was a line of severe
thunderstorms in the area that forced them down.
