...Force officer briefed Shirley Dostal on the crash, she asked why her son hadn't had a parachute. The officer explained that parachutes would be of little use in the T-3 because the plane lacked ejection seats. Five months after Mark died, another T-3 went into a spin, and the crew couldn't recover. It was a lot like Dostal's crash, except for one thing. It was a British T-3 flying over the English Midlands, and both pilots were wearing parachutes. They bailed out and were back at work the next day. Only then...
...Force investigation concluded that Dostal put the plane into a spin and that Fischer fumbled the recovery because the Air Force had not adequately trained him. The crash report said the engine was running while the plane plunged a mile in 30 sec., in 17 ever tightening spirals, into a snow-covered pasture. Yet witnesses told investigators the plane was silent as it came down. The Air Force grounded the T-3s for a week. And when they resumed flying, spins were banned...

Pace, who had spent 17 hours in the T-3, was flying last June 25 with his instructor, Captain Glen Comeaux, 31, when their T-3 sputtered during a turn at about 500 ft.

Though the question of spin-offs is out of Seinfeld's hands--Castle Rock, the show's production company, owns the rights to the characters--he and the rest of the cast swear they won't participate in, say, Everyone Loves Elaine or Kramer the Vampire Killer. (As for a future reunion show along the lines...
What's the best show to replace Seinfeld in the 9 p.m. slot on Thursday? Frasier is the most likely candidate. Along with Friends and Mad About You, it is one of NBC's strongest comedies, and it appeals to male viewers, as does Seinfeld. The Cheers spin-off followed Seinfeld when it made its debut in the fall of 1993 and actually attracted more viewers. Right now, it may not be reaching as big an audience as it could, since it goes up against ABC's Home Improvement on Tuesdays...
