I was doing research today for information regarding the crash of c130 on March 14, 1980 in which my big brother Billy Lancaster was killed. I was very pleased that he was well liked. I have fond memories of him. I remember our parents receiving a final report of the investigation that looks like a book. I do remember that the cause was listed as "lightening". Billy was the lead guitarist and also back up vocals in the rock band. The bands name was "Ballse'". We never did find out what "Balse'" meant however they did enjoy their special assignment which included touring the remotes and entertaining for others. All members of the band were airman except for the drummer who was actually a high school student. Terribly enough, the drummer's father was an officer and would only allow him to travel with the band so long as his big brother was with him. They both lost their lives. Billy was from Northeast Arkansas. Steven Lancaster, Former Air Brat Leachville, Arkansas
