Talk:USMC R4Q NROTC crash/@comment-174.224.130.121-20150224200925

I complained about being on the wrong A/C and was 'Kicked off the A/C' when it reached Florida and told to hitch a ride on the GaTech A/C due later on. I dragged my duffel and suite case under an A/C wing to get out of the rain. Minutes later the sky lit up as the R4Q crashed beyond the fence. Among the survivors was a Middy who had previously been an USMC aviation enlisted man. He advises me that we could crash and the best four seats were the rear two we were siting in and those of the pilot / copilot. I remember bumping into him after he was commissioned a year or two after his class. He had some burn marks but other seemed in good shape. I served until 1967 when I resigned as a LtCdr having continued to escape death several other times. David A Singer
