Any of America's 911 force have the inside scoop on the marine T-34C driver that was aparently on a VFR flight plan from who knows where to Miramar MCAS yesterday (3-9-08) and disappeared from FAA radar and comms near Borrego in East San Diego County?
My partner and I got the call of the missing T-34 and launched from Sheriff's Aviation at Gillespie Field in El Cajon with a greater than average sence of urgency, braving the ridiculously harsh east county winds and hoping to not find a smoking hole with the usual chunks of meat strewn about.
We weren't disaappointed. After getting the crap kicked out of us by the wind for a while, we were notified that the T-34 had landed at Miramar.
It was later mentioned that the reason the plane dropped off of Socal radar was that the pilot decided to do a few touch and gos that were not on the flight plan, possibly at Borrego airport?
Curious minds would like to know.
