Stared with a plane called "United 800" (or some number) going down
at sea. The CG was flying close and watched the plane go in from 10,000 ft.

It was NOT a United Airlines plane but a test plane of some kind.

The Air Force sent out their rescue plane and helicopter and their
"PG's" (Para Jumpers) went in, the plane was up side down and the pilot
was dead.
They didn't try to get him out and he went down with his plane.

I am now monitoring the CG freq.'s.

Happier Note,

I wired a data port in my garage with two antenna leads for both SW &
Scanner. Now I can take my laptop to the garage with me while I am
working on these old junk cars.

Happy Holidays

I heard about this on my local TV news (Sacramento, CA). The plane was
an experimental one of a kind barnstorming/skydiving plane made by the
pilot, who was going to meet his business partner and show the plane to
investors whom they were hoping to interest in a production run. I don't
think the investors will be interested any longer. Apparently the
plane's nonretractable landing gear flipped it over on the water and
drowned the pilot before divers could reach him. I don't usually listen
to ute freqs, and 1500 is a little early for me (about 7 am Pacific
time).

Guess my report wasn't the best.

It was yesterday about 1500 local ime. I messed up this report and I'll
try to do better next time.

Better to err on the side of speed, and then let accuracy sort itself out
later..

The USAF refers to their Pararescue troops as "PJs". FYI.
