Now that I’m thinking it over, perhaps it’s Billings MT airport that is on the mesa. I seem to recall driving down the butte to a college town.

It may be Billings - Butte’s airport is weird though - it’s down on “the flats” .. but the approach is spooky ... I’d fly in there for business quite a bit in 2002 - 2003 ... Quite often in the winter if the weather was bad they’d divert to Bozemen or Helena and bus folks in ...

I think a sub and a ship are two different things.

Without him able to give me a source, I don’t doubt it was the same incident. He doesn’t follow the news and come on here, thats my job to keep him informed. He mentioned it in passing. Your account is probably more accurate :)

Generally, they are.
One of each collided with each other in the Straits of Hormuz a few days ago.
Sort of like “taking two to tango”.

The Billings airport is on a mesa which overlooks most of Billings. I don’t now about Butte.

Does anyone know if these kids were actually from Oroville? This is very important for me.

Right. Navy guys sometimes call subs "boats".
Correct me if I'm wrong, Navy FReepers.

Fergus says the plane departed from Orville, Calif. and that the pilot had filed a flight plan showing a final destination of Bozeman. The pilot had canceled his flight plan at some point and headed for Butte.

This tragedy follows another small plane accident in Montana earlier in the week in which Sparky Imeson, a well-known aviator and aviation author, perished. The details are quite ironic:
64-year-old Imeson took off alone from the Bozeman airport. Two friends say he had intended to document the site of a 2007 crash in the Elkhorn Mountains that left him with a compression fracture to his back, broken ribs, a broken toe and cuts on his head.
Killed revisiting the site of his own previous near-fatal crash. Sounds like a Twilight Zone episode.
