This is my sisters ex. Quite an amazing story. It's in today's Herald as well as will be on tonights global tv news. He's the same guy that runs those big paintball events I've talked about on here. (www.skylinenation.ca) on the very same ranch where the crash took place. He even has a mock "downed pilot" that he uses in the milsim games.
In the middle of the night on June 9, 1977, a missile-laden fighter jet on a training mission for NORAD crashed almost right in seven-year-old Reid Moynihan's backyard.
The F-106 Delta Dart clipped the treetops in a thick forest of the Porcupine Hills and burst into flames before hurtling to the ground on the south end of the Moynihan family ranch....
