On October 7, 1985, the Central Identification Laboratory-Hawaii (CILHI, now DPAA) identified the remains of Lieutenant Colonel Harrison Hoyt Klinck, missing from the Vietnam War.

Lieutenant Colonel Klinck entered the U.S. Air Force from California and served with the 469th Tactical Fighter Squadron. On November 19, 1967, he piloted an F-105D Thunderchief (tail number 61-208, call sign "Fresno 04") on a combat mission against enemy targets in Ha Tay Province, North Vietnam. While south of Son Tay, the aircraft was hit by enemy anti-aircraft fire and crashed, killing Lt Col Klinck. A heavy enemy presence in the loss area prevented any search efforts, and his remains were not recovered at the time. In 1985, the Vietnamese government repatriated a number of sets of human remains to U.S. custody, and investigators were able to identify Lt Col Klinck among these remains.
 
Lieutenant Colonel Klinck is memorialized in the Courts of the Missing at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific.
