Default Vietnam Joyride? Or Urban Legend?


Has anyone on the NG heard of this story? There's a set of documents with
uncorrelated info on POW-MIA cases in SEA that was declassified in '78, and
I was checking them at my college library and I noticed one report mentioning
that a USAF pilot took his girlfriend on a joyride in the backseat of an
aircraft (unknown as to type: either F-4, F-100F, F-105F, or B-57) on a mission
over NVN-and they were shot down. The report stated that both were seen alive
on the ground as the NVA came to scoop them up. The reporting officer (An
AF Lt.Col) stated that was all he knew-other than "it caused a big flap at
MACV/7th AF." The info posted is all I have on the incident.Group's opinion:
true story or urban legend?
