1963 – 3 Wing – Earl Snyder


Details:

11 September 1963 - F/L DO "Donald" "Slim" Schneider

Comments by Earl Snyder:

My cousin, Donald "Slim" Schneider was killed in a CF-104 at 3 Wing Zweibrucken on 11 September 1963. Apparently, the afterburner nozzle failed in the circuit forcing a low altitude ejection. The parachute only partially deployed. He was well loved and much grieved.
