RAF Upper Heyford, England. In Memory of Major Robert Sipes, 66th TAC RECON WING, USAF. (Revised).

This video is a personal recollection of a USAF Aircraft crash that sadly claimed the life of its Pilot, Major Robert Sipes on Monday 12th May 1969. Whilst I didn't witness the accident, I saw the aftermath and 53 years later, the imagery of that day is still very vivid.
