An amateur historian says the wreckage of an Air Force jet believed lost at sea 54 years ago with two crewmen aboard has been found off the coast of Southern California.
G. Pat Macha, who heads a group of volunteer searchers, said Monday that the plane was found earlier this month during a sonar survey for another aircraft near Los Angeles.
Macha says divers matched a serial number on the wreckage to a Lockheed-Martin T-33A jet trainer.
He believes the wreckage was a missing Air Force jet that departed Los Angeles International Airport on Oct. 15, 1955.
Macha turned over the information to the Los Angeles County sheriff's office and the U.S. Military's Joint Prisoner of War/Missing In Action Command, which would be responsible for identifying the crew members.

Welcome Home, Gentlemen. RIP.
GOD BLESS ALL OF OUR MILITARY AND AVIATORS!! Every day They Put Their Lives On the Line for Our Freedoms and AMERICA!
And May GOD FORGIVE THOSE WHO Attack Our Military from Within as the Murthas, Kerrys, Pelosis, Reids, Clntons, Obamas and so many others who pose as Leaders, but are in reality Enemies from Within America! Those that Jefferson so direly Warned Us of!
I see no reason to beg for their forgiveness.
I wonder what plane they were looking for?
We are told to pray for those who persecute us. That is why.
You are entirely right! It was a moment of political correctness on my part;-)
May they roast in Hell for Eternity!
