===1961 F-101 Voodoo crash===

Two [[McDonnell F-101 Voodoo]] fighters of the [[75th Fighter Squadron]] were [[scrambling (military)|scrambled]] from [[Dow Air Force Base]] on the night of April 11, 1961, to intercept an unidentified aircraft approaching the United States. [[Semi Automatic Ground Environment|SAGE]] identified the incoming aircraft as a [[Strategic Air Command]] bomber shortly after the fighters were airborne. The fighters' return to Dow was complicated by a light spring rainstorm, creating an icy runway under a 500-foot cloud ceiling. Dow's [[tactical air navigation system]] glide slope function was temporarily disabled after the first aircraft landed. The second aircraft was cleared to descend to 2,200 feet, using a two-dimensional [[radar]] approach, when it hit Bald Mountain at an elevation of 1,200 feet. Both crewmen in the second aircraft were killed. Investigators concluded the airfield elevation had been incorrectly set on the aircraft altimeter, creating a 1000-foot error unrecognized when aircrew acknowledged only the last two digits of altimeter readings in radio transmissions.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mewreckchasers.com/f101bd1.html|title=F-101B VOODOO 57-401 APRIL 11, 1961 BALD MOUNTAIN, DEDHAM|publisher=Peter Noddin|access-date=January 20, 2012}}</ref>
