The newspaper report says a homosexual affair may have lead to the crash in
the Colorado Rockies.

Today's "Citizen" newspaper in Tucson, Arizona, says military

The report quotes sources who say the pilot feared an estranged
lover was about to go public.

According to the report, the alleged lover was another pilot, also stationed

Button was flying in a formation April second, when his plane veered away
