MARCH AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. — Dean Martin held out hope today that his son may be alive somewhere on snowy Mt. San Gorgonio where the actor-flier’s jet was believed to have crashed, a family spokesman said.
Military rescuers scoured the 11,500-foot mountain in a massive air and ground search and expressed optimism the two-man crew may have ejected and survived cold and snow depths up to eight feet. Dean Paul Martin, 35, a California Air National Guard captain, was piloting the F-4C jet when it disappeared Saturday.
