——Two Naval aviators-—killed: This story just stays weird. Just yesterday the Navy announced the pilots were declared dead. Not found-—just dead. No info on whether they bailed, and Mt. Rainier is a big, rough place. No info on how the plane went in; hard, flat, or what? Not much snow yet but they could have buried in a high glacier? And they might have bailed a long way from Rainier. If a Growler has anything, it’s comms so why not airborne contact. And they haven’t said anything about being in a group, or not? Just halfaxxed weird all the way around?
Agreed, it’s been held pretty close on information for this one...which makes me start to ask probing questions automatically.
