Vought Planes
Nice to see some great footage of the USS Colorado's Vought seaplanes. I agree about TIGHAR, they have cried wolf so many times in the past, I don't know how any one can believe them. Some meteorologist have gone back and looked at weather patterns at the time, and it looks like they hit some major head winds that Fred was not able to take into account, and they simply ran out of fuel short and died. This is not to put down Fred's navigational skills, he was as good as you get in the day, but one is only as good as the information they have.
