     Two crew members walking along the road were picked by a passer-
 by in a car, while another was found walking in a field nearby. The
 fourth's parachute caught in a tree and he suffered head and neck
 injuries.
     Randy Rushing, a volunteer firefighter responding to the crash
 call, said he picked up the co-pilot after he found him in the field.
     "He mainly said that something went haywire," Rushing said.
     Rushing said the co-pilot, identified as Capt. Jeffrey Sabella,
 told him the crew was aborting the mission to fly back to their base
 when there was smoke and they lost control. The co-pilot told
 Rushing: "We bailed."
     The Air Force said the instructor pilot and instructor weapons
 officer were both in good condition in a military hospital at Fort
 Campbell, Ky. The co-pilot and another weapons system officer were
 reported stable at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in
 Nashville, Tenn.
     The Air Force identified the crew as Lt. Col. Daniel Charchian,
 the instructor pilot; Sabella, the co-pilot; Capt. Kevin Schields,
 the instructor weapons officer; and 1st Lt. Bert Winslow, the
 weapons system officer, Pischner said.
