1Opinion of the Court
KEVIN THOMAS DUFFY, District Judge.
These are the last of a series of motions in two related actions for the wrongful death of a thirty-two year old Air Force major; the earlier motions were decided in a memorandum filed July 17, 1973. The actions arose on April 23, 1971, when a military F III E aircraft crashed on a test flight at the Leach Lake Gunnery Range in California, killing co-pilots Robert Jay Furman and James W. Hurt. At the time of the crash, the parachute ejection system apparently malfunctioned, and as a result the canopy of the capsule failed to separate as it was designed to do.
