Didn't Dean Martin's son die when his jet fighter crash? I think he was a member of the California ANG. So much for the idea that ANG fighter pilots have a "safe" job.

Cpt. Dean Paul "Dino" Martin died in a military jet crash on the San Gorgonio Mountain (elev 11,490 ft), California, while on active duty with the California Air National Guard (March 1987). He was flying an F-4 Phantom. As I recall, it was a zero visablity situation, he was under the control of the tower (March AFB?), and missed a direction.

Martin had been part of the 1960's band "Dino, Desi, and Billy" and had at one time been married to Olympic skater Dorothy Hamill.
