I would like thank everybody for all of the information. I have made
changes to my book to reflect Centers in general have skin paint capability. There must be something unique about Washington Center's radar out over the Atlantic Ocean Warning Areas that prevented them from getting a skin paint on my friend's F-4. The short summary of my friend's fatal flight is: he lost all electrical power and decided to rejoin on another F-4 in the warning area. The lights he picked out were not an F-4, but an airliner out over the ocean headed to Miami (we were off the coast of North Carolina). By the time they realized their mistake, they didn't have enough fuel to get back to land and ended up bailing out in the ocean. 6 days later a fishing trawler picked up the back seater and the front seater was never found. Without a skin paint, the search and rescue forces looked in the wrong place. More details in my book you can get for free from my web site. Feel free to download and email to your friends. -- Danny Deger NASA offered me $15,000 to take down my web site. Take a look and see why. www.dannydeger.net |
