Exactly right. I was at Bien Hoa when it happrnrd.
May 17th, 1965. The USAF lost 18 men that day. T/Sgt. Baldanado of New Mexico lost his life trying to get a pilot and co-pilot out of an exploding B-57 laden with ordnance. Several aircrew members and pilots were lost that day. Their names are in the first block on the Viet Nam Wall.
