    Helicopter lost in Baltic Sea, 2 aboard

    What: Helitrans Eurocopter AS 350 Ecureuil en route from Lübeck, Germany to Halmstad Sweden
    Where: Baltic Sea
    When: Dec 5, 2012
    Who: 2 aboard
    Why: The Helitrans Eurocopter has been missing since December fifth over the Baltic Sea. The emergency beacon located by a German Navy vessel off the coast of Fehmarn island appears to have been a false alarm. Danish air ATC lost radar contact with the helicopter at 13:56 Swedish time, about 10 minutes after takeoff into what should have been a 2 hour flight.

    The pilot is a Norwegian employee of Heli Trans. The other has foreign citizenship and is not employed by Heli Trans.

    The search operation for the missing Norwegian helicopter was suspended overnight from 10 o’clock p.m. on Dec 5 but rescue centers in Denmark, Norway and Sweden have been involved. Nine search vessels are in the area east of Neustadt in Holstein. See German Link here:No traces of fuel or oil in the water have been found, and the beacon that was located by the German ship appears to have been a lost cell phone. It was not in the expected flight path.

    The air search has resumed, with a German Sea King helicopter now searching. Recent snowfall is impeding search more difficult.

    The passenger’s name has not been released but the next of kin have been informed.

    No incident in Miramar

    What: Navy FA-18 fighter jet doing flight operations
    Where: MCAS Miramar
    When: Tuesday night 9 p.m
    Why: When the jet ran low on fuel, the pilot was directed to land at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, which meant flying over Allied Gardens. The sight and sound of a jet flying low over the neighborhood brought back a panicked response, a reminder of an identical jet which killed people on the ground a few months ago in University City. Although the jet landed safely, the still-recovering neighborhood was catapulted back into a terror response–although the jet was completely in control the entire time.

    Without wanting to sound too harsh, one hopes that San Diego recalls there is a military base and planes will be flying there when need be. There was no actual incident. Should they have ditched the jet in the bay rather than safely fly over? Then someone would have been complaining about the cost of a ditched FA-18. Be happy.
