Gulf Air Flight 771 Gulf Air Flight 771 was a flight from Karachi , Pakistan to Abu Dhabi , United Arab Emirates . On 23 September 1983 , while the Boeing 737 - 2P6 was on approach to Abu Dhabi International Airport , a bomb exploded in the baggage compartment . The plane crashed in the desert near Mina Jebel Ali between Abu Dhabi and Dubai in the UAE . All five crew members and 107 passengers died . Most of the dead were Pakistani nationals , many returning to jobs in Abu Dhabi and Bahrain after spending the Eid al Adha holiday with their families in Pakistan . Investigation . The investigation was carried out by the American National Transportation Safety Board ( NTSB ) , and they released a 400 - page report on their findings , which was not immediately published in the Gulf . The report was revealed in September 1987 by British politician Sir Dudley Smith , under pressure from the parents of British stewardess Lyn Farthing who perished in the crash . Others among the crew on board included British stewardess Sally Anne of Peterborough and Bahraini steward Hashim Sayed Abdullah . The report included last moments in the cockpit , including a description of Omani captain Saoud Al Kindy praying as the plane nose - dived into the desert . Also on the flight deck was Bahraini co - pilot Khazal Al Qadi . The report mentioned that everything on board the flight was perfectly normal and voice transcripts showed the crew chatting among themselves . One asked the other if he was on duty the next day , to which he replied " No , I ' ve got a day off tomorrow " . That was followed by a sudden interruption and the recording showed the pilots making a frantic attempt to control the plane . The report indicated a bomb in the baggage hold as the primary cause of the accident , due to the following factors : Aftermath . The bomb was apparently planted by the Abu Nidal organization , to convince Saudi Arabia to pay protection money to Nidal so as to avoid attacks on their soil . Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates paid the money soon after the bombing . Death certificates issued for the passengers on board showed the cause of death as asphyxiation . As of July 2012 , Gulf Air still uses flight number 771 for their scheduled service between Islamabad and Bahrain .

On 18 March 1945 near Meiktila , Burma ( now Myanmar ) , Lieutenant Karamjeet Singh Judge , a platoon commander of 15th Punjab Regiment of Indian Army , was ordered to capture a cotton mill . Though , facing stiff enemy resistance ( a total of almost 200 enemy shells fell around the tanks and infantry during the attack ) and inoperable terrain for tanks , he dominated the battlefield by his numerous and successive acts of superb gallantry . Time and again the infantry were held up by heavy medium machine gun and small arms fire from bunkers not seen by the tanks . On every such occasion Lieutenant Karamjeet Singh Judge , without hesitation and with a complete disregard for his own personal safety , coolly went forward through heavy fire to recall the tanks by means of the house telephone . Cover around the tanks was nonexistent , but Lieutenant Karamjeet Singh Judge remained completely regardless not only of the heavy small arms fire directed at him , but also of the extremely heavy shelling directed at the tanks . Lieutenant Karamjeet Singh Judge succeeded in recalling the tanks to deal with bunkers which he personally indicated to the tanks , thus allowing the infantry to advance . In every case Lieutenant Karamjeet Singh Judge personally led the infantry in charges against the bunkers and was invariably first to arrive . In this way ten bunkers were eliminated by this brilliant and courageous officer . On one occasion , while he was going into the attack , two Japanese suddenly rushed at him from a small nullah with fixed bayonets . At a distance of only 10 yards he killed both . About fifteen minutes before the battle finished , a last nest of three bunkers was located , which were very difficult for the tanks to approach . An enemy light machine gun was firing from one of them and holding up the advance of the infantry . Undaunted , Lieutenant Karamjeet Singh Judge directed one tank to within 20 yards of the above bunker at great personal risk and then threw a smoke grenade as a means of indication . After some minutes of fire , Lieutenant Karamjeet Singh Judge , using the house telephone again , asked the tank commander to cease fire while he went in with a few men to mop up . He then went forward and got within 10 yards of the bunker , when the enemy light machine gun opened fire again , mortally wounding Lieutenant Karamjeet Singh Judge in the chest . By this time , however , the remaining men of the section were able to storm this strong point , and so complete a long and arduous task .

Marine Corps Air Facility Quantico Marine Corps Air Facility Quantico ( MCAF Quantico ) is a United States Marine Corps airfield located within Marine Corps Base Quantico , Virginia . It was commissioned in 1919 and is currently home to HMX - 1 , the squadron that flies the President of the United States . The airfield is also known as Turner Field , after Colonel Thomas C . Turner , a veteran Marine aviator and the second director of Marine Corps Aviation , who lost his life in Haiti in 1931 . History . Aviation first arrived at Quantico in July 1918 , when two kite balloons were flown to spot artillery fire . These forerunners of today ' s spotter aircraft were soon augmented with the assignment of four seaplanes , which operated from the muddy junction of Chopawamsic Creek and the Potomac River . In 1919 , a flying field was laid out and the land leased to accommodate a squadron returning from World War I combat in Europe . The facility was later named Brown Field , in memory of 2ndLt Walter V . Brown , who lost his life in an early accident at that location . The present site was selected in 1931 , when larger and faster planes brought recognition of the limitations and hazards of Brown Field - its single , crosswind runway , bound by trees , hills , swamp , a high tension line and a railroad . A new airfield was constructed by changing the course and flow of Chopawamsic Creek and reclamation of the marshland from that area . The new facility was named Turner Field . By 1939 , four squadrons — 68 bombers , scout bombers , fighters , transports , utility and observation planes — were based at the airfield . On December 1 , 1941 , the field was named Marine Corps Air Station Quantico , and placed under operational control of the Commanding General , Marine Barracks . In 1947 , Marine Helicopter Squadron One was established at Quantico to pioneer an entirely new concept in air operation ; to evaluate and test , in coordination with the Landing Force development Center , the theory of carrying troops to the battle zone by helicopter . By the close of the Korean War , helicopters had gained permanent acceptance by the military for tactical and logistical support operations . Effective 15 November 1976 , MCAS Quantico was re - designated as Marine Corps Air Facility ( MCAF ) , Quantico , Virginia . MCAF Quantico is currently the home of Headquarters Squadron ( HqSqn ) , Marine Helicopter Squadron One ( HMX - 1 ) , and home to Marine One . HMX - 1 , in addition to its tactical development mission , flies the President of the United States and provides helicopter support for the Marine Corps Combat Development Command . On 1 October 2005 , MCAF Quantico was reorganized under the Commanding General , Marine Corps Installations East , headquartered at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune , North Carolina .
