Plane Which Crash-Landed In Armenia
Was Shot Down By Russian Mi«s
WASHINGTON, Uf) — The U.S.
Air Force said Tuesday two Rus
sian jet fighters shot down the
American transport plane which
crash-landed in Soviet Armenia
June 27.
Five of the nine airmen para
chuted. Four others rode the
burning plane to the crash land
ing.
The Air Force said the Red
fighters made another firing at
tack on the crippled transport as
it was heading in for its landing.
The nine men were released by
Russian authorities to American
officials Monday, returning to
their home station at Teheran.
The Russian version of the in
cident was that the USAF trans
port was compelled to land after
it had flown into Russian terri
tory and that the plane burned
on the ground.
Tuesday’s Air Force announce
ment said the American fliers re
ported they were intercepted by
the Migs and set afire at 3,000
feet altitude.
“A combination of extensive
thunderstorms, instrument flight
conditions and unreported high
winds had caused inadvertent
crossing of the Soviet frontier,”
the statement said, thus conced
ing the plane had strayed into
Russian territory.
“Five crew members were
forced to parachute to safety,”
the Air Force announcement said.
“The remaining four attempted
to make an emergency landing at
a crude strip 75 miles east south
east of Lake Sevan. With five
parachutes in the air and the airr
craft in flames, the Migs made
another firing pass on the crip
[ pled plane while it was on its
j final approach for a forced land
ing.”
The burning plane exploded on
the ground after the four crew
members who rode it down
were able to reach safety.
All members of the crew are
suffering from extreme fatigue and
exhaustion, the Air Force said.
AVA To Poll
Alaskan Visitors
JUNEAU, UP) — Visitors to
Alaska between now and August
17 will have an opportunity to
officially register brickbats or
kudos on their trip.
Each outbound visitor will re
ceive an attractive folder with a
color photo of Mt. McKinley and
a welcome message from Gov.
Stepovich. This, the visitor may
detach and keep. The other half
contains a questionnaire to be
filled out and mailed to the Alas
ka Visitors Assn. There is space
left for reactions of the visitor.
“We want the truth,” R. A.
“Dutch” Derr, managing director
of the AVA, declared, “even if it
hurts, because our aim is to im
prove the enjoyment of visiting
Alaska by eradicating those irri
tants that are prevalent but of
which we are not aware.”
At the end of the six-weeks
survey AVA hopes to know how
many visitors Alaska had, how
they traveled, how long they
stayed, how much they spent, '
what gave them the urge to
visit Alaska, what they liked and
what they didn’t like.
All carriers and the Director of
Customs at’ Whitehorse, Y.T. are
cooperating with AVA on the
project. No comeprehensive sur
vey of Alaska travel has been
j made since a three-months sum
mer survey was made for the
[ National Park Service in 1952.
