In what has to be a frustrating wait for the family and friends of the pilot, Air Force personnel at Nellis and around the world, and the public in general, there is still no word on the fate of the Air Force F-16 pilot whose plane crashed on early Tuesday evening, near Calinte, NV.
The Las Vegas Sun has no news on it's web site today. The Las Vegas Review Journal is repeating yesterday's story and the TV media is just as pathetic. Channel 13 and 8 have nothing on their web site while Channel 3 is repeating yesterday's story.
So, why isn't the media asking questions and why isn't the AFB more forthcoming? Previously, when there has been an accident, Nellis has been pretty straight forward, but those crashes and incidents has had witnesses. But this crash, has had no witnesses. But is that fair to the public?
What about our Federal congress men and woman, why are they not asking and demanding answers?
I am not a conspiracy nut, but this really is starting to stink to high heaven about something. What, I don't know. Was there something wrong with the airplane? Was there something wrong with the pilot? If the Air Force would have come out and said what happened, questions like these would not happen.
This is also giving a black eye to the search and rescue squads at Nellis and Lincoln County. They look like fools now because they are not able to find the pilot. If the pilot has been found, then Nellis is letting them look like fools for no reason. I am sure Nellis search and rescue and the Lincoln County first responders are working their butts off to find this pilot, but how do we really know?
So, again, it is the same old, same old, and that is a shame.

Just so know for future reasons why we do not release information usually waiting to notify next of kin and then give them 24 hrs respect the family of our fallen airmen. Nobody hiding its called protoco
ReplyDeleteThat I understand but why keeping on saying you are looking for the pilot when you are not. Obviously, the media in North Dakota knew something way before the Las Vegas media. It's one thing to withold the name, it's another to imply that there was a chance that the pilot was still alive.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your response, though.
