Yakima County Search and Rescue crews also examined the crash site and looked for the crew.

If the crew punched out they could be miles away from the actual crash site.

It's been a long time since I was in P-3s, but with today's technology I would think each individual would have a GPS pinger in their LPAs.

“been a long time since I was in P-3s”

I saw the P-3s go into sunset and retire while working at the depot level.....F-14 Tomcats as well.

Always a certain sadness when an old workhorse is put out to pasture.

I hear on good authority that the P-8 Orion actually doesn’t do the job the P-3s did as well.....improvement right? SMH

We had GPS on our parachutes in the AF. Pray they find them.
