Spooky 21, a gunship, lost contact after a Mayday call while flying a daylight armed reconnaissance mission over southern Laos shortly before the Christmas bombing halt. Search and rescue ended two days later without finding the aircraft or crew. Remains recovered in later excavations, including a 1995 joint U.S. and Lao investigation, were identified as the entire crew.
