Yeah. I was wondering if there was an "engineering sargeant" aboard.
Pray they are OK. Losing too many good guys.

RAF aircraft 'missing' in Gulf
An RAF aircraft which was returning from an operational mission is missing, a military source at Central Command in Qatar said.
It was not yet known what type of aircraft was involved or where it disappeared.
A military source said there were "no further details at this stage."

I caught that. At the time I thought it was in semi-bad taste (meaning I chuckled -- but felt slightly guilty about it) -- but then, sure enough ...
