It's one of the biggest aviation mysteries of the Vietnam War era. Nearly 60 years later, for surviving family members of Flying Tiger Line Flight 739, there's still no closure. Ninety-three U. S.

Two felony charges against Phillip Michael Stroupe Sr. have been dropped, District Attorney Andrew Murray confirmed.
Stroupe Sr. is the father of Phillip Stroupe II, who was charged with kidnapping, first-degree murder and more than a dozen other charges across five counties following the death of Thomas Bryson in 2017.
The dismissal signed by Murray May 18 in Henderson County Superior Court says the charges, based on the same information, were dropped due to a lack of evidence that Stroupe Sr. understood or acted on information his son gave him during a prison visit about the location of Bryson s body.
Stroupe Sr. was charged with accessory after the fact of kidnapping and accessory after the fact of first-degree murder.
When it comes to development, everybody has heard of the concept of NIMBYism Not In My Back Yard.
But the Asheville area also experiences another form of anti-development backlash, one fueled by folks who move here from other areas, sometimes into relatively new developments. And then they want development to stop. That s a real thing, said former Buncombe County Development Director Jim Coman, who retired in 2010. We used to call it IGMSY I Got Mine, Screw You. I ve already moved here, I m happy and don t you dare come.
To be clear, Coman, a Buncombe County native whose roots go back to Revolutionary War-era ancestors, believes all residents of an area have a right to voice concerns about potential development and the rules their communities operate under. That s a fundamental right that comes with being American.
