Missing skydiver found, second dies in Florida accident
     PALM BEACH, Fla. - November 28, 1997 3:06 p.m. EST - Police said
 Friday they believed a body found in a canefield in Palm Beach
 County was that of a sky diver who plunged to his death a week ago.
     Search parties had combed through the marshland near the Palm
 Beach Glades Airport since the first accident last Thursday looking
 for 26-year-old Omar Lozada.
     "We believe it is the body of Omar Lozada but I can't confirm it
 yet," Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office spokesman Mark Phillips
 said.
     Lozada was killed after colliding with Victor Govone, 25, as
 they were free-falling from about 5,000 feet. Govone suffered minor
 injuries.
     But while the recovery of the body brought that search to an end,
 a Thanksgiving sky dive resulted in the death of a resident of
 Pahokee.
     The Palm Beach Post reported Friday that James Michael Darby,
 45, died after his ski board was hit by another diver over Pahokee.
     Detective David Bradford told the newspaper that like Lozada,
 Darby was an experienced sky diver.
     Darby's ski board was hit briefly by another parachutist, caus-
 ing Darby to fall backward and lose control.
     He plummeted into Lake Okeechobee and suffered "a massive amount
 of trauma from hitting the water," Bradford said.
     Darby had witnessed the Lozada-Govone accident.

           Ex-Air Force pilot Kelly Flinn to appeal discharge
     WASHINGTON - November 25, 1997 3:06 p.m. EST - Former Air Force
 pilot Kelly Flinn, who quit in disgrace rather than face a court-
 martial for adultery, plans to appeal her general discharge and
 hopes to rejoin the military.
     "I'd love to put on a uniform and serve my country again," Flinn
 said Monday on CNN's "Larry King Live," adding that she became "very
 suicidal" after she was relieved of her duties. The 26-year-old was
 the first female B-52 pilot in the Air Force.
     Flinn did not rule out becoming a pilot for a commercial airline
 if she were unable to resume her military career. She resigned in
 May and accepted a less-than-honorable discharge for having an affair
 with a married civilian.
     If she had not resigned, she would have faced a court-martial
 for lying about the adulterous affair and disobeying an order to end
 it. Flinn told King she lied about the affair after two hours of
 "invasive questions" about her sex life.  She has written a book
 about her experiences.
     Appearing separately on the same program, Air Force Gen. Richard
 Hawley, commander of Air Force combat units, denied that Flinn was
 treated differently than male pilots. He said the main issues were
 the lying and disobedience. "Those are very serious offenses in the
 military," he told King.
