Right after we moved here about a year and a half ago, a Harrier crashed in someone's pool (among other places). It had live ammo on it. The pilot (thank God) was alright, but it made for a very nasty summer around here. Lots of hostilities.
Oh, and that pilot they are looking for in Iraq is from Luke AFB in Phoenix.

Another article says he was the father of 5 :(
Here is a link from Luke with info on a fund being set up for the family.
(Luke AFB)
may I ask why ?
You must be in Yuma, Az. I was there 96-99 & was with the Crash Crew [baked tators folks, due to our aluminim turn out gear and big green crash trucks]. The crash review folks have never said what caused that accident. Even though the AV8B is called the North Carolina lawn dart or the widow maker, due to it's difficaulity to fly.
