Insane new footage circulating on TikTok, reportedly filmed by a Tesla dashcam, appears to show the crash of a U.S. Air Force OA-1K Skyraider II near Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma City. The video, verified by aviation enthusiasts and open-source analysts, captures the light attack aircraft descending rapidly before coming down in a field just miles from Will Rogers International Airport.
The aircraft, identified as (ZORRO75), was assigned to the 492nd Special Operations Wing and was not being flown by the Oklahoma Air National Guard at the time of the crash, contrary to early reports. The OA-1K, operated out of Will Rogers Air National Guard Base, represents Air Force Special Operations Command’s newest light attack platform—an experimental aircraft derived from a modified agricultural “crop duster” airframe equipped for precision missions and close air support.
Eyewitnesses described a controlled descent before the plane impacted the ground, suggesting the pilot may have attempted an emergency landing. Emergency crews responded quickly to the scene, and initial reports indicate no civilian casualties. The condition of the pilot has not yet been officially confirmed by Air Force authorities.
The OA-1K Skyraider II has been central to the Air Force’s light attack initiative, designed for counterinsurgency and low-cost strike operations in austere environments. The program, developed in partnership with L3Harris, seeks to expand the Air Force’s capabilities with a rugged, versatile platform suited for special operations missions.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation by Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) and the National Transportation Safety Board. Officials have not released details regarding mechanical failure or pilot error.
The incident is the first known crash involving the OA-1K Skyraider II since its introduction, marking a setback for the Air Force’s ongoing evaluation of the aircraft’s operational readiness and safety performance. Analysts note that while no loss of life has been confirmed, the event will likely prompt a review of the Skyraider program’s testing and deployment protocols.
