Summary

[edit]
Description

The ghosts of military airplanes down on public land in Oregon inspired the BLM to honor the memory of those pilots who made this their final descent.

This image contains the remnants of a Navy Grumman A-6 Intruder Bomber which crashed on September 19, 1973 during a low level night training mission.

The pilot, Lt. Alan Koehler, age 27, and navigator Lt. Cdr. Philip Duhamel, age 33, were both killed in the crash.

Major components of the aircraft can be seen across the landscape, drawing frequent visits by members of the public. In response to this increased interest, the BLM’s Lakeview District has developed a plan for managing and conserving these historical properties and the memories that they honor.
