    "Maj. Thomas Clark, an Air Force pilot shot down in the Vietnam War, finally received a homecoming today at Pittsburgh International Airport.

    "Six members of an Air Force honor guard carefully removed the flag-draped casket carrying the Emporium, Cameron County, man's remains, which were identified only last year, and transferred it to the waiting hearse.

    "Fifty 50 members of the 911th Airlift Wing stood at attention and saluted , as dozens of passengers awaiting mid-day flights pressed their faces against windows in terminal D to witness the ceremony on the tarmac."

    Body of pilot shot down in Vietnam War returned to Pa.
