noggin,
I would agree it could well be a pair of jets rather than one doing multiple passes. As the attack came at "chow time" some very "rough" time estimates would be in ranges of 6:30 to 8:00 or 12:00 to 13:30 or 17:00 to 18:30. When Tribe used the phrase "I didn't have much appetite for the meal" that "might" suggest he was not referring to the 6:30 to 8:00 times, as that would more typically be referred to as "breakfast" rather than a "meal".
