I was stationed in Oceana when this F 8 crashed near NAS Oceana, VA. The aircraft reported a surging engine
and was attempting to return to base. As he got close his engine lost power and it clipped some tree tops and cashed into
a house. Pilot ejected if memory serves me. It's been over 54 years ago.
