Pilot Air Force Captain Webb H. Huss flying F-106A 56-0464 of the 318th FIS, McChord AFB WA ejected safely before the aircraft crashed into the wilderness near Lake Ozette shortly before noon on 4 Aug 1964. A flame out spun-down the engine. Capt Huss tried repeatedly, unsuccessfully to restart, but was not able to. He ejected, parachuting into the lake and being pulled from the water by an unidentified boater and taken to shore, while the F-106 crashed into a thick forest mountain area just seconds later. A helicopter from Paine Air Force Base flew him to Sedro Woolley where he was hospitalized with minor head and other injuries. This photo is of the wreckage found in June 2015 by 23-year-old Austin Lunn-Rhue who had come from Colorado to Washington State’s Olympic Peninsula for a job as a forester at a timber company. One of his first tasks was to survey a stand of trees that was scheduled to be cut down, where he eventually ran across this crashed aircraft.
