Third Fill Crashes
(N Z.P.A.-Reuter—Copyright) SAIGON, April 23.
Another United States Air Force Fill jet fighterbomber crashed last night, according to the United States Command in Saigon. Six of the controversial swing-wing aircraft were sent to Thailand last month for operations over Vietnam, and this was the third to crash. Details of the crash have not yet been released, but it is believed to have occurred in Thailand. Fills flew four missions over the southern part of North Vietnam yesterday but the number of planes on each mission was not disclosed. Each Fill costs SUS 6 million.
