Four members of the preci sion flying team died Monday when their planes slammed into the desert floor and disinte grated at speeds approaching 400 miles per hour. The four pilots were practic ing a wing-to-wing upward roll maneuver when they crashed almost simultaneously near the landing strip of the Indian Springs Air Force Base. Col. Mike Wallace of the Pub lic Information Office at nearby Nellis Air Force Base, headquar ters for the Thunderbirds, said Tuesday the pilots are trained to look at each other to determine their positions. “In the maneuver they were doing, the pilot on the exterior left divides his time between checking the instruments and his right wing man,” Wallace ! said. The plane’s instruments tell the pilots air speed and altitude, he said. Could a miscalculation by one pilot cause the other three planes to follow his lead and crash in formation? “I don’t want to speculate,” Wallace said. “That’s why we have a board to investigate.” Is it possible? “Yes, it is possible,” he said. Wallace said Maj. Gen. Gerald D. Larson, the head of an Air Force investigation board, arrived at Nellis Monday and met Tuesday morning for brief ings. Larson planned to visit the crash site about 40 miles away by noon. Larson and a team of 10 to 15 experts are expected to spend three weeks studying the wreck age of the four T-38s — the worst crash in the 28-year his tory of the Air Force stunt flying team. Wallace said the bits and pieces of the jet trainers likely would remain on the ground at Indian Springs during most of the preliminary investigation by Larson’s team. The manufacturer of the Thunderbirds’ planes, North rop Corp., discounted mecha nical failure of the four super sonic T-38 Talon jets as the cause. Four members of the precision flying team died Monday when their planes slammed into the desert floor and disintegrated at speeds approaching 400 miles per hour. The jets crashed almost simultaneously with what near by Desert Springs residents de scribed as an earthquake-like ex plosion that looked like a napalm bomb. Wreckage was strewn across a 1-square-mile area of desert 60 miles north of Las Vegas. The crash brought the num ber of Thunderbird aviators kil led since the formation of the group in 1953 to 18. Witnesses said the pilots failed to pull out of their steep dive and crashed into the earth side by side, still in formation. Killed in the crash Monday —Maj. Norman L. Lowry III, 37, Radford, Va., a veteran of 264 combat flights in Vietnam and the new commander-leader of the Thunderbirds. —Capt. Willie Mays, 31, Ri pley, Tenn., left wingman. —Capt. Joseph “Pete” Peter son, 32, Tuskegee, Ala., right wingman. —Capt. Mark E. Melancon, 31, Dallas, Texas, flying the slot position. The 1982 show season would have been the debut for Lowry and Melancon as Thunderbird pilots. “The airplane has been known to have a very, very good record,” Northrop spokesman Monte Montgomery said. “I don’t think this particular acci dent had anything to do with the operation of the airplane at all. You don’t have four airplanes fail at the same time.” THE ^ Harlem ^-4 Globetrotters Igloo warms New Yorker United Press International WOODMERE, N.Y. — Most New Yorkers are staying close to the heater during the winter weather — except Kenneth Nathanson. He likes sleeping in his igloo. Nathanson, 22, took advan tage of the frigid temperatures by building an igloo in his sub urban back yard. To test it, he slept in it Satur day night. Despite a zero read ing, he said he was very comfort able in his sleeping bag. “I didn’t have any heat inside, because I was afraid the igloo would melt,” Nathanson said Monday. “It was very, very peaceful because the snow keeps out sounds. I slept like a baby from midnight until 9 a.m. Sun day, and when I awakened, the temperature was down to zero.” The igloo, constructed of blocks of compacted snow, is 6‘/a feet wide and 5 */2 feet tall at the center. “My mother peeked in once early Sunday morning, because she was worried that it would cave in,” Nathanson said. “I was sure it was safe, but I had a shovel with me in case it col lapsed.” r r ■ ■ ■ ■ 500 off (with coupon) Good for any Breakfast $3.00 or over ALFREDO’S TACOS AL CARBON Good Thru 509 University Dr. Presented by MSC Town Hall MONDAY, JAN. 25 - 7:30 G.

Today’s options include home care through reach-out programs, elderly roommate matching, congregate housing, apartments for the aged and continuous care centers, an arti- de in the January issue of Money magazine said. Reach-out programs provide hot meals delivered to the elder ly in their homes and apart ments, adult day care helpers and homemakers, transporta tion to doctors’ offices and even maintenance personnel to give baths and shaves. Costs range from nothing to more than $5 an hour. One such state- sponsored program in Florida, Community Care for the Elder ly, is helping more than 10,000 elderly people remain at home. Groups such as Los Angeles’ Housing Alternatives for Seniors match up elderly people who can share expenses and companionship. Congregate housing works something like old-fashioned rooming houses, but with more services. Continuous care centers or communities are attractive to elderly couples be cause they provide apartments, communal dining facilities and health care.
