Mission History
Took off on a training flight from Nadzab Airfield and crashed 12 miles north in the Saruwaged Mountains, into a steep slope in formation with A-20G "Crap Shooter" 42-54155. Incredibly, two survived the crash. Pilot George A Campagna was killed and his body recovered a few days later.

Michael Claringbould adds:
"I know it is the site as i visited this wreck in 1976. it was assigned to the CRTC at the time and had "CRTC School painted on its nose. #717 has not an MIA aircrew."
