OPINION
HILLMAN, District Judge.
Thomas J. TerKeurst was killed in an airplane crash on June 11, 1979, when a DC-3 aircraft owned and operated by the United States Forest Service crashed into the Sel way River in Northeastern Idaho. On the basis of a fact-finding operation conducted by the Forest Service, it appears that both engines of the DC-3 aircraft failed to operate at the time of the crash. This action was instituted by the temporary personal representative of the Estate of Thomas J. TerKeurst. Jurisdiction is invoked under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1346(b) and 2674 (1976).
