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. Burial information: Fort Logan National Cemetery, Denver, CO
