RF-4 153098 crash east of Parker, Arizona, on October 22 1975

F-4 Bureau Number 153098, crash on October 22, 1975. Two occupants were onboard the Phantom. Robert M. Bach was killed in the crash. Captain Anderson successfully bailed out.

The two crash photos were taken in the early 1990’s. Present day update, apparently the horizontal stabilizers were removed and remaining debris repainted to match the desert.

Below is video I shot at the crash site in 1992.

Landing gear and possible firewall. Photo from my personal collection.

Landing gear from a recent trip to revisit the crash site.

Might have been a battery box. I don’t think it was an ammo can.

Door Lock mechanism? It was hard to read.
