Well, two of them went down in the water, so they’re having to use a combination of sonar and diving to find the pieces. The other one is in the tundra somewhere. And while, yes, having another aircraft ready to go for recovery is a good idea, what *isn’t* a good idea is having an aircraft *below* one that is about to be blown out of the sky. You can predict where exactly the wreckage is going to fall, and you don’t want pieces smacking into your recovery crew on the way down.
