Gregg Neyman Hollinger, age 29, from Paul, Idaho, Minidoka county.
Service era: Vietnam
Date of death: Tuesday, December 14, 1971
Death details: On December 14, 1971, a U-21A aircraft (tail number: 66-18041; call sign: Longtrip 041) with two crew members and four passengers took off from Phu Bai, Republic of (South) Vietnam, on an administrative mission to Da Nang. During the flight, the aircraft experienced an in-flight emergency, and the pilot radioed that he had lost an engine and had a fire. Within minutes of this transmission, all radio and radar contact with “Longtrip 041” was lost. They immediately launched search and rescue aircraft, but bad weather soon forced to return to base. Searches continued for the next three days but failed to locate any of the crew or its passengers.
Captain (CPT) Gregg Neyman Hollinger joined the U.S. Army from Idaho and served with Quartermaster School, Training Directorate, Military Assistance Command, Vietnam. He was a passenger aboard “Longtrip 041” when it went missing off the coast northeast of Da Nang, Republic of (South) Vietnam and his remains have not been recovered. Today, CPT Hollinger is memorialized on the Courts of the Missing at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific.
