Have any divers in the SF Bay area ever found a single engine aircraft in San Francisco Bay off Fort Mason? I ask this because my father ditched one in that area after taking off from Chrissy Field, in Presideo in 1952 (at least I think that's when it was).
He was flying an Army Navion when his engine quit due to contaminated fuel and he was picked up by a Coast Guard cutter. The aircraft sank and divers were unable to locate it. They said that it went out with the tide, but who knows.
I'd be interested to hear anyone's thoughts about this.
