I have a couple things about airplanes. First, there will be a burial tomorrow of the remains of someone who died in southeast Asia in 1966.

He was a pilot, and since this is out of the ordinary, I'm wondering if it will rate a flyover.

Second, there was an article in the WaPo yesterday regarding the 40th anniversary of the crash of United Airlines Flight 553 in Chicago.

The article links to video footage of the response by the Chicago FD to the crash. I know that there are people here who will find it interesting.

One of the members of a forum where I am an administrator was on that flight. I sent him a link to the article earlier today. Like me, he wonders where the 40 years went.
