fog was so dense that the intense glow of the burning plane could not be seen by attendants on the field. Lt. N. M. Ostergren, U.S. Navy, was found dead at his crashed plane near McDavid the next morning. Officers said the wreckage of the eight planes – they declined to estimate their worth, but aviation circles here said the fast combat ships would cost from $18,000 to $20,000 each – was the air station's second heaviest loss. In 1926 a hurricane wrecked planes on the ground, hangars and other equipment for a total damage of about $1,000,000." The aircraft involved were all Boeing F4B-4 fighters. These included: BuNos. A9014, A9040, 9242, 9243, 9258, and 9719. On December 6, 2019, a terror attack occurred at the installation, resulting in 3 deaths and several injuries. The attacker was shot and killed by law enforcement. It was the first deadly terrorist attack on U.S. soil since 9/11 that was planned abroad.
