The aircraft was hit by an enemy surface-to-air missile and crashed near the border of Laos and Vietnam. Maj Ayers was killed in the incident and his remains could not be recovered at the time. In 1993, investigators visited the crash site and recovered personal artifacts and human remains. Maj Ayers was identified among the remains recovered.
