On August 9, 1967, Capt Jack Bond of the 45th TRS was approaching Tan Son Nhut AB on a GCA final in RF-101C 56-0225 when his Voodoo collided with a UH-1D Huey helicopter, 66-1099 of the 175th Assault Helicopter Coy. The helicopter lost its rotor and tail pylon. The four crew members and two passengers perished when the helicopter impacted the ground.
After the collision, the Voodoo suffered a right engine failure and the left engine could not produce enough thrust to maintain flying speed. The aircraft went into an uncontrolled descent and Capt Bond successfully ejected, but received major back injuries.
