Exciting News!
We are back in production restoration on 155418. During some fuselage sanding a new set of names was revealed. Pilot Lt Col C.M. Acree, Commanding Officer of VMO-2, and AO, CWO-4 G.L. Hunter.
Both ejected 32 years ago on January 18th, 1991 while flying a mission over Southern Iraq/Kuwait in OV-10A 155435.
They both had a successful ejection in the LW3B Ejection seat, however, Col Acree suffered a neck injury. CWO-4 Hunter had some head-face injury from shrapnel from the SAM hit on the left boom engine. Both were then captured by Iraqi forces and held as POWs until the end of the war.
