Description


Craig D. Button

Craig David Button (November 24, 1964 - April 2, 1997) was a United States Air Force pilot who died when he crashed an A-10 Thunderbolt II aircraft in mysterious circumstances on April 2, 1997. During the incident, Captain Button inexplicably flew hundreds of miles off-course without radio contact, appeared to maneuver purposefully[2] and did not attempt to eject before the crash.[3] His death is regarded as a suicide because no other theory explains the events.[4] His aircraft carried live bombs which were never recovered.[5] It took three weeks to find the crash site.[6] During that time, there was widespread public speculation about Captain Button's intentions and whereabouts.[7][8]
