Man believes he s solved mystery of lost flight 19 g nurse who acquired aids from patient Steps Forward Miami apr a former air traffic controller is Stive he has unravelled the secret of flight 19, five Ivy torpedo bombers that vanished in 1945 and fed the Bermuda Triangle legend but getting proof is going to be expensive. Jon Myhres solution was videotaped for a segment on Abc tvs a unsolved mysteries on wednesday. But doubters include the Navy the smithsonian institution six publishers who rejected his Book manuscript and people Magazine which held Myhres Story after buying exclusive rights to his account. A a in be Given it my Best shot. In be done everything i can do a a said Myhre of Lantana who has spent his life savings of More than $100,000 to plot and pursue flight 19�?Ts five Grumman Tom Avenger torpedo bombers. A i know in a right. In a just not in a position to prove  Myhre has videotape shot from a min submarine in july of an upside Down Avenger sitting in 390 feet of water about 35 Miles off Cape canaveral but he does no to have its serial number. The plane just 2vz Miles from where Myhre predicted flight 19 went Down was originally spotted during the search for debris from the explosion of the space shuttle challenger but it was ignored then. Flight 19�?Ts disappearance became part of the legend of the Bermuda Triangle an area where ships and planes supposedly disappear under mysterious circumstances involving ufos magnetic Fields and other such Phenomena. Flight 19 even figured in the movie a close encounters of the third kind a in which first the planes and then the men were returned by aliens. Myhres answer to the Puzzle came with a Flash eight years ago when he read the final radio transmissions from the warplanes which took off from fort Lauderdale for a training flight Over parts of the Bahamas on dec. 5,1945. The Squadron Leader reported that both of his compasses were out of order. At one Point the Squadron Leader plotted a North Easterly course based on the Assumption that he had somehow reached the Florida keys on the opposite Side of Florida. Myhre thinks that was part of the Bahamas Abacus Chain. At another Point he reported he was Over an Island and no other land was visible. Myhre who has flown the Region for years believes that was isolated walkers Cay. By re plotting the flight from walkers Cay using the Navy transcriptions of the flights radio reports Myhre came up with a location where he thought flight 19, its planes out of fuel May have ended. A the spot was East of Cape canaveral. The Avenger he filmed was found 2vi Miles away. Myhre Learned of the plane spotted during the challenger search from news reports. This summer with $25,000 raised by two partners he hired a Small research submarine and located the wreckage. He was unable to locate a Complete aircraft serial number on the upside Down wreck. Footage of the Avenger shows the last three digits a 209 a of a five digit Navy service number on the left wingtip. Flight 19�?Ts Lead air plane number was 73209, and Navy records show Only two other Grumman Tom avengers with service numbers ending in 209, and neither was lost at sea. A the Only thing we did no to get was a positive id on the planets serial number a Myhre said but raising the Avenger could Cost $250,000. The planets Landing gear is extended leading some to suggest the plane was lost while trying to land on an aircraft Carrier instead of the squadrons suspected ditch. But Myhre insists he has the right plane and knows where the others Are. A the other planes Are farther North in much deeper water in a certain a he said. A this was just the first to ditch. And the tragic thing about it is he was Only about seven minutes from land.
