A-6A Intruder Memorial Site on Burma Rim

In 1973, a U.S. Navy jet on a training mission crashed on Burma Rim in Oregon’s remote High Desert.
Naval aviators Lt. Alan G. Koehler and Lcdr. Philip D. Duhamel both perished in the accident.
Today, a memorial plaque honors the fallen aviators at the BLM-designated historic site.
An ancient volcanic rim in Oregon’s High Desert tells a story of duty and sacrifice.
On Burma Rim, every day is Memorial Day.
