| A Marine Corps Intruder failed to return from a low-level strike mission at night in the A Shau Valley border region. The aircraft (call sign Ringneck 36) was almost certainly shot down by ground fire or flew into the ground during a low-level attack. There was no indication that either of the crew had ejected from the aircraft. |
