[edit] Don't forget about the 106th

I added the 106th RQW from the NY ANG because they were the search and rescue unit that lost a Pararescueman during the SAR mission.

I removed the 106th reference because the SAR mission in which Rick Smith was lost had nothing to do with the Andrea Gail. It was in response to a distress call from a different vessel, a sailboat that was much closer to the U.S. coast. Colden46 07:01, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Coast Guard's official Casualty Report re: Andrea Gail disappearance in pdf format

I found a great link on the official Coast Guard site to the Marine Casualty Report on the disappearance of the Andrea Gail. I noticed the Andrea Gail article had no references or anything, but am too new to Wiki to start entering citations on my own. Here is the link to the page: http://www.uscg.mil/hq/g-m/moa/reportindexcas2.htm#mi

Scroll down to date 10/30/1991 (the date the Andrea Gail was officially reported missing) and click on the text to open the .pdf file. Here is the link directly to the .pdf file: http://www.uscg.mil/hq/g-m/moa/docs/fvag.pdf

Hope this is helpful. Hlhamiltong 09:47, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
