"An Air Force C-130 Hercules, transporting equipment from a presidential visit, crashed into 11,244-foot-tall Sheep Mountain, on the belly of the natural rock formation called Sleeping Indian.
President Bill Clinton and his family had departed safely late that afternoon, but eight crew members and one Secret Service agent died in the crash. All that remained of the plane, whose call sign was Havoc 58, was a section of the tail and wheels from the landing gear. The Air Force attributed the cause of the crash to human error, as the crew misinterpreted radar and failed to climb quickly enough. It was a starry night, with no moonlight to illuminate the ridgeline." - Excerpted from Jackson Hole Magazine, May 19, 2022
