Capt Wesley R. Deane (Mozam)
1960-1987
On June 13, 1987 Wes Deane and his WSO John "JJ" Jordan crashed while working
with a C-130 in the desert outside of Tucson. The mission was to help train C-130 crews
to develop survival stategies in a low-level environment where hostile fighters are present.
Whatever caused the crash - they ejected - but just outside of the ejection envelope. If I remember
correctly, JJ's chute opened, but not in time to fill. Wes's drogue chute was out, but that was all.
Both of these friends are still missed
