[MilCom] USS JFK Acft may be down, off Florida coast

[AllanStern at aol.com]

     It is Thurs, 1:56am EDT (0556z) and I am hearing CG Rescue 2114, an 
HU-25A Falcon Jet out of CGAS Miami. He has been up on VHF ATC freqs with Miami 
Ctr and is at 17,000 feet.
     He was just in comms with "USS Warship 67" (Acft Carrier USS John F 
Kennedy) concerning an ELT signal and asked the ship if they were "going to try to 
find him."  CG Rescue 2114 advised he did not want to interfere with the 
ship's operation.
     CG Rescue 2114 has also been up with CGAS Miami ("Miami Air") on both 
123.1 and 381.8.
     All night long I have been hearing USN acft in comms with USS John F 
Kennedy on their Marshaling freq 364.25, so it is possible that one of their acft 
is down.
