[The Arizona Daily Star, Final Edition, Sunday, April 6, 1997, front page] Colorado is focus of search for A-10 Radar lost plane near Telluride "The Federal Aviation Administration may have picked up radar sightings south of Denver, Colorado, from a jet missing since Wednesday from Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson. "The news prompted the Air Force to expand search efforts into Colorado for the A-10 Thunderbolt II and its pilot, Captain Craig David Button, 33, officials said yesterday. "FAA raw radar data revealed sightings of an aircraft along the same projected path and traveling about the same speed as the $8.8 million A-10, near Telluride, Colorado. "The sightings occurred about 1 p.m. Wednesday -- roughly an hour after the plane was last spotted near the Barry M. Goldwater Air Force Range near Gila Bend, said Col. Barry Barksdale, Davis-Monthan's 355th Fighter Wing commander. "Button was training to use the plane, which was atttached to the wing's 357th Fighter Squadron. "Investigators are not certain the radio signals came from the plane, he said. "Button's plane, which was loaded with four bombs, was last seen at 11:58 a.m. Wednesday on a three-plane training mission. The mission included Button, an instructor and another student pilot. "At 11:59, the instructor radioed both students, but Button didn't answer, Barksdale said. "At that point, the instructor maneuvered around to look for Button's plane, but could not find it, said 2nd Lt. Mark Martin, Air Force spokesman." We are just now putting the finishing touches on NONSIAMOSOLI, but we must contact the publisher about terms of distribution. After reading this, I now have NO trouble believing that this jet never landed (or crashed). It's front-page news, several days running, here in Tucson, Arizona. Home base was Davis-Monthan AFB. Please stand by. /s/ Paul Mitchell p.s. "NONSIAMOSOLI" means "We are not alone" in Italian. If you want immediate data on this group, browse using Alta Vista for "Giorgio Bongiovanni" [sic].
