	This is purely speculation on my part, but I notice in this plane's history that after it left OnMark it was one of the first planes sent to Vietnam. It never went back to OnMark or the Air Material Depot. That means that this plane never received the so-called Congo Cowl modifications that were discovered by the mechanics of the [[~~Masaki Squadron\|~~211th Squadron]]. The lack of these cowls in the tropical climate may have been a contributing factor in the plane's accident. Even as a student pilot, they drill into our head to know how much fuel is on board and to have a reserve. I find it difficult to believe that a trained combat pilot would just run out of fuel. But an engine overheating seems more probable to me.
