And, I think he was at VX-4 as well...
I was TDY doing some early digital engineering work at the Naval Air Development Center in Warminister, PA when we got news of Hugh Brown's crash. We knew Lockheed was hiring for some black work out West and assumed the crash was somehow involved. One of the Have Blue prototypes crashed around the same time and for years I thought that this was probably Brown's mishap.
VX-4 had some great paint jobs on their F-4's back in the day including a couple with the Playboy bunny logo.
