About this episode

The episode discusses an aviation incident involving an F-15 pilot, local parking concerns in the Tower District, and the recent legal troubles of Baby Jessica.

A 144th Air National Guard F‑15 pilot lost their canopy mid‑flight after completing a flyover at the Clovis Rodeo. Following the incident, the jet circled to burn off fuel before safely landing at Fresno Yosemite International Airport with no injuries reported. Firefighters responded swiftly and the military is now investigating the mechanical failure.  Photos of the lots have been circulating on social media and have some residents worried the change will lead to increases in traffic in the surrounding neighborhoods as drivers look for free parking. To be clear: These are not city-run parking lots and don’t reflect any change at the municipal level.  The woman famously rescued as “Baby Jessica” from a Texas well in 1987 is now facing assault charges, according to police. Authorities say the case is unrelated to her childhood rescue, which captivated the nation, but the arrest has drawn renewed public attention decades later.  Please Like, Comment and Follow 'Philip Teresi on KMJ' on all platforms: ---     Philip Teresi on KMJ is available on the KMJNOW app, Apple Podcasts, Spotify , YouTube or wherever else you listen to…
