Major Clifton Curtiss Williams, Jr (USMC) was enroute to Mobile, AL, to visit with his ill father when apparently foreign object/ a mechanical failure was able to jam the aileron controls of NASA 922 (66-8354). The jet went into an uncontrollable left roll at 22300 feet and dove straight down, impacting the ground at an angle of 75-80 degrees on a heading of 300 close to Mach 1 at a position 5 nautical miles north of the Tallahassee VORTAC (Woodfield Springs Plantation). Major Williams did not survive.
