No Sign of Bombs in A-10 Wreckage
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
A second day of searching on a snowy mountain peak turned up no sign of the 500-pound bombs lost in the mysterious crash of an A-10 warplane this spring. As they did the day before, searchers found only wreckage of the A-10 Thunderbolt, bits of ammunition and remains of Capt. Craig Button, who disappeared along with the plane during a training mission over southwestern Arizona April 2. The wreckage was found 18 days later on Gold Dust Peak, more than 800 miles off course. The bombs are not believed to be armed.
