It crashed into a house in Midwest city, that being a 'burb of Oke city, not far from TIK. Give me enough time and I'll get you the cross streets. You want the bureau number of the jet? I got that as well.
I suppose this could be the event you mentioned:
1987 Ramada Inn Corsair crash - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Major Teagarden was assigned to the 4450th Tactical Training Group which was involved with the development of the Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk.
EDIT: this one is a perfect match:
8th August 1985 USAF A-7D Corsair II 69-6198 4450th TG / 185th TFG
Tinker Air Force Base Engine problems. Crashed near Oklahoma City Major Denny D. Nielsen ANG ejected
The plane, an A-7D attack jet, apparently lost power and caught fire over a densely populated section of the Oklahoma City suburb of Midwest City, said Bill George, spokesman for nearby Tinker Air Force Base.
Sorry for the confusion.
