On 3 December 1958, while serving with the 32nd Tactical Fighter Squadron/36th Fighter-Day Wing, Donald Brandy was flying F-1ooC number 54-1861. He was on route from Soesterberg AB, in Germany to Wheelus AB, Libya for weapons training when the jet ran out of fuel forcing Brandy to (safely) eject.

The plane crashed and was damaged beyond repair.

At the same time, F-100C number 54-1865,  flying along with Brandy, ran out of fuel and the pilot, 1stLT Harry E. Higgins, also safely ejected from his aircraft.
