MADISON - The Wisconsin Air National Guard pilot who fatally crashed in Michigan's Upper Peninsula in December became disoriented, a report from the U.S. Air Force Aircraft Accident Investigation Board found. Capt. Durwood "Hawk" Jones, 37, died after crashing his F-16 Fighting Falcon in a wooded area of the Hiawatha National Forest on Dec. 8, 2020. The pilot was operating out of the 115th Fighter Wing at Truax Field in Madison and was conducting a training exercise. The report found that the cause of the crash was the pilot's "failure to effectively recover from spatial disorientation." Investigators found the pilot's use of night vision goggles restricted his field of view and he was "likely unable to identify a true horizon." The night conditions, lack of light and entering a cloud layer also reduced visual cues.
