Captain Gary L. Herod was a Texas Air National Guard pilot who lost his life in a T-33 jet trainer crash on March 15, 1961. After experiencing engine failure shortly after takeoff from Ellington Field, he chose to remain in the aircraft to prevent a crash into populated areas. Despite having the option to eject, he radioed air traffic control stating he would wait before bailing out, ultimately crashing into a vacant field. He was a member of the 182nd Fighter Squadron and the 149th Fighter Wing, stationed at Kelly Air Force Base.
