C-133
G'day Chaps
I had the unpleasant experience of watching a M.A.T.S. C-133A stall and crash a couple of hundred feet in front of me at 17:05 hours local on the 7th of November 1964 at Goose Bay, Labrador. Seven crewmen were killed. They had been de-iced twice and the A/C waved off the third so they could depart and make up time to their destination at Sonderstrom Air Base, Greenland. The aircraft struck the ground left wing first beside a 100,000 gallon above ground fuel tank. There was a terrific fire ball and in the blink of an eye, I was hit by the blast concussion. Nasty to say the least!!!
