Narrative:A/C crashed in a densely wooded area south of Cleveland, near the Tarkington VFD at FM 321 and Texas 163 while flying to Beaumont port for deployment to Desert Storm. The A/C flew on its side into a thick stand of trees after the pilot apparently became disoriented and lost control after the A/C turned while some helicopters flying with it maneuvered to avoid thin, low clouds.
