簡介：

1978年5月某個週三，當天下午共有四批飛行訓練，編號8012的U-6A由觀測中隊的副隊長劉傳集少校與陳高才上尉進行儀器訓練，下午三點左右，苗栗南庄有部落原住民通知當地警察有飛機於向天湖旁撞山，機上飛行員一死一重傷，因此龍潭塔台請在空訓練機協助聯絡8012，多次聯絡不到8012，確定該機已失事，當晚六點搜救指揮中心通知搜救機起飛前往當地，於七點三十分左右將腿部骨折的陳高才上尉送下山，並轉乘救護車送至三軍總醫院，而劉傳集少校的遺體由大隊飛安官帶領其他弟兄乘車連夜趕至現場進行現場拍照記錄及相關儀器拆解，並將劉少校遺體用發動機的包布包裹，請原住民山青天亮後將遺體運下山，再送至台北第一殯儀館存放。

Background:

One Wednesday in May, 1978, four groups of jets took off for a military training exercise to test various observational instruments on the planes. One particular plane, the De Havilland U-6A, numbered 8012, flew under the command of Vice Captain Major Liu Chuan Ji (副隊長劉傳集少校) and Captain Chen Gao Cai, (陳高才上尉). Shortly after three o'clock in the afternoon, news started to surface from an aboriginal area in the Nanzhuang Area of Miaoli County (苗栗縣南莊鄉) that there had been a plane crash near the mountain next to Xiangtian Lake (向天湖), with initial reports saying there was one casualty and one person seriously injured. The aboriginal eyewitnesses rushed to the local police to report the crash, who in turn notified the Longtan Control Tower. (龍潭塔台) The Longtan Control Tower (龍潭塔台) attempted to establish radio contact with the De Havilland U-6A plane but after multiple attempts, the Control Tower was unable to make any contact so concluded that the De Havilland U-6A plane had indeed crashed. Immediately afterwards around 6 o'clock that evening, a search and rescue team was formed and dispatched to the mountains to find the plane and save the only survivor—Captain Chen (陳高才上尉). Around 7:30 p.m., the team found a very badly injured Captain Chen (陳高才上尉), whose legs were broken from the plane crash. Captain Chen (陳高才上尉) was carried down the mountain and transferred to a local hospital where he received immediate medical attention. Unfortunately Major Liu (劉傳集少校) died in the crash but with the help of fellow military personnel and the local aboriginals, they took a part of the cloth-like material used for covering the engine of the plane and wrapped his body in it. They then carried his body down the mountain, later transferring him to a funeral home in Taipei.
