I am so sorry for your loss. My father, Ed King, was the pilot of the C-130 that crashed at Guam in ‘74. I was 3 at the time. I don’t have a ton of details, but I always heard from family, that there was an engine failure during takeoff and not enough runway left.
I also want to thank all the me. That served and also those who have reported details of what they know. It is helping me understand what happened.
I also appreciate those who have cleared up the Pan-Am stewardess error, so that my Dad’s reputation is not tarnished falsely.
