CHATTANOOGA, Tennessee, Jan. 22 -- The University of Tennessee's Chattanooga campus issued the following news release:
The ground was coming up fast as Bill Gauntt's jet nosedived toward it.
The second man in the cockpit, the weapons systems operator, had already ejected; Gauntt was only seconds behind. But after his parachute opened, he looked down to see a bomb crater and a burning plane -- his plane. And, like the plane, Gauntt came down hard and fast.
