Jet Disappears After Taking Off From Boeing Field
SEATTLE -- A two-seat trainer jet vanished from radar Tuesday after taking
off from Boeing Field. The L-39 took off shortly before noon, and around 11:58 a.m., the pilot reported to a Seattle Center air traffic controller that the plane was having control problems. The aircraft then disappeared from radar after crossing the Cascade Range. Two people were onboard the plane, which was headed to Lewiston, Idaho. Their names were not immediately released. Several agencies are assisting in the air and ground searches. |

Dear, dear. From today's paper...
Two men in a Czechoslovakian fighter-trainer jet disappeared minutes after taking off from Boeing Field yesterday, prompting rescue teams to scour the area between Seattle and their destination in Lewiston, Idaho. A search for the single-engine L-39 registered to Rocky Stewart of Hollister, Calif., was launched by the aviation emergency services division of the state Department of Transportation. That effort, based at Bowers Field in Ellensburg, was suspended at nightfall, spokeswoman Nisha Hanchinamani said. The two men left Boeing Field shortly before noon, and by 11:58 a.m. had radioed a Seattle air traffic controller to say they were experiencing control problems. The plane later disappeared from radar, said Tom Peterson, WSDOT Aviation Emergency Services Coordinator. |
