Narrative:
Crashed over the Atlantic Ocean on Apr 18, 1995. Pilot survived, WSO died.

The aircraft crashed during training mission. The pilot, Capt. Brian Udell and the WSO, Capt. Dennis White were participating in a night air-to-air combat exercise, when the aircraft's HUD malfunctioned and presented false attitude information to the pilot. Based on the HUD information Capt. Udell thought they were in a banked turn while in reality the aircraft accelerated downwards in a steep dive. Capt. Udell realized the HUD malfunction seconds before the aircraft crashed into the Atlantic Ocean and initiated a high speed ejection at 780 mph at low altitude (4500 feet AGL). Capt. White immediately died during the ejection, while Capt. Udell suffered severe injuries but survived. After intensive treatment he was able to return to flying two years later
