On 27 August 1967, Major Vlademir H. Bacik, pilot, promoted while MIA to Lieutenant Colonel Bacik and Capt. Paschal G. Boggs, bombardier/navigator comprised the crew of an A6A Intruder that was conducting a pre-dawn radar strike mission over Quang Ninh Province, North Vietnam. The last radio contact with the Intruder was just before Major Bacik and Capt. Boggs commenced their attack run on the designated target. When the Intruder's crew failed to reestablish contact with the ABCCC, an electronic search was immediately initiated, but no trace of the aircraft or its crew was found. Due to the location of loss, no ground search was possible.
