A November 11 1996 report draws conclusions about a mid air collision involving a Navy A6 Intruder and a Grumman Ag Cat that happened over our farmland.

A-6 and Ag Cat Collide (continued)

April 15, 1993 report of the mid air collision of an A6 Intruder and a Grumman Ag Cat over our farm at Diamond, Washington (near Colfax-about 60 miles south of Spokane). All three men live through the accident although the pilot of the Ag Cat is seriously injured. Teams from NAS Whidbey Island, Fairchild AFB, and the NTSB work together to find answers.  You'll see my Grandpa again in this news clip. 

He was in the air when the collision happened.  He was able to land his plane in one of our fields and then locate and help one of the crew members from the A-6 Intruder, who was very disoriented.

On April 14 1993 a mid air collision between an A6 Intruder and a Grumman Ag Cat occured over our Farm at Diamond, Washington (near Colfax) and the Palouse River.  All three men lived to tell their stories.  Here you'll see my Grandpa being interviewed by the news crew, as he was on his way to fly over our farm to take a look at the crops when he saw the fire ball that was caused by the impact.
