The aircraft made radio contact with a ground station shortly before entering Laotian airspace but was not seen or heard from again.

He was a gunner aboard the AC-47D when it went missing on March 13, 1966, and his remains have not been located. While carried in the status of missing in action (MIA), the U.S. Air Force promoted A1 Pauley to the rank of Chief Master Sergeant (CMSgt). Today, Chief Master Sergeant Pauley is memorialized on the Courts of the Missing at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific.
