Main article: 1996 Croatia USAF CT-43 crash USAF MH-53J Pave Low helicopter over wreckage of the USAF CT-43A approximately 3 kilometers north of the Dubrovnik Airport in Croatia, 4 April 1996. On April 3, 1996, while on an official trade mission, the Air Force CT-43 (a modified Boeing 737) carrying Brown and 34 other people, including New York Times Frankfurt Bureau chief Nathaniel C. Nash, crashed in Croatia. While attempting an instrument approach to Čilipi airport, the airplane crashed into a mountainside. Everyone aboard was killed in the crash except for a single survivor in the tail section, who died while being transported to a hospital.[2] The final Air Force investigation attributed this to pilot error and a poorly designed landing approach.[3]
