Navy crewmen say they thought the plane was an Iranian jet fighter.

LEAD: Two Navy crewmen died when their A-6E Intruder fighter jet crashed Wednesday night in a heavily wooded area at a Navy bombing range.

They worked over the ingress and egress, how they would attack the prison, and then how to get the Navy crewmen out of there and back to the carrier.

The aircraft crashed on the Sunnyvale Municipal Golf Course, half a mile short of the runway, resulting in the destruction of both aircraft and the deaths of all aboard except for one Navy crewman.

One Navy crewman in the P-3 did survive the crash.

One Navy crewman was killed and five sailors hurt as fires erupted on both ships.

One was a Navy crewman.

Two female Navy crewmen were standing outside the bulkhead door.

On April 12, 1969 six off-duty Navy crewmen, who were performing as extras, were seriously burned in a filming sequence.

A Navy crewman stepped up and banged on the side of the aircraft, giving a thumbs-up sign.
