Trying to locate: USS Coral Sea shipmates witnessing 26Dec69 mishap
Branch of Service: Navy
Unit was: VA-35
Where served: USS Coral Sea CVA-43
When served: 1969-1970

Message is: On 26 December 1969 my friend, Ltjg Walter Henry Kosky, was returning to CVA-43 in injured A-6 Intruder. As the plane reached the port side of the carrier, Kosky, along with co-pilot Ltjg Trowbridge attempted to make a final approach turn but went straight down. They ejected, but chutes did not have time to open. Trowbridge's body was not recovered but Kosky was brought back aboard with his head missing. We used to run on the flight together and become good friends. 32 years later the event is as vivid as it was in 1969. I was in VF-151 maintenance control and shipped out before you crossed the line. If any of you recall this event please contact me. Thanks! mgbenjamin91@cs.com Mike Benjamin
