USMC Jet Down

Several nights a week the jets from Miramar fly on night missions. They make it impossible to hear TV and frequently fly after ten at night. They are a part of living here so it felt like a personal loss when we learned that a USMC jet was reported missing. It went down over the Pacific Wednesday night and the crew were not rescued for 4 hours.

The picture taken from our back door does not really show you how low and how close the Marine jets fly to the house we rent.
