HOOAH

On September 2, 1970, a United States Marine Corps McDonnell Douglas F-4B Phantom II from Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 115 (VMFA-115) was being refueled at the Tactical Fuel Distribution Squadron (TAFDS) Southern Fuel Pits at Da Nang Air Base, RVN, when it caught fire resulting in a AIM-7 Sparrow missile explosion. The blast killed one USMC and two USAF crash crew personnel. They included LCPL Rufo S. San Nicolas from Marine Air Base Squadron 11 (MABS–11) and SSGT Bobby L. Holzer, and A1C Robert P. Pape from the 366th Civil Engineer Squadron. Three other USMC firefighting crew members were injured. The incident resulted in a temporary shutdown of fuel operations at TAFDS Southern Pits.
