WASHINGTON — The Pentagon says it has spent $2.5 million to help in the search for the missing Malaysian Airlines jet.

The Defense Department has been flying high-tech surveillance planes to assist in the effort. The spending also includes operating costs for ships that have assisted in the search, which has stretched across the South China Sea and into the Indian Ocean.

A Navy P-8 Poseidon plane has been searching the Indian Ocean region where satellite imagery showed objects that may be from the plane. A P-3 Orion didn’t fly Friday but is expected to rejoin the search Saturday.

A Pentagon spokesman says $4 million has been budgeted, and that amount could last into early April depending on the number of flying hours and whether other equipment is needed.

I don't think any of them will be "forced" back but some may have to go home for various reasons. It has been very quiet lately which isn't a good sign but the only real thing they can now is trying to locate it I suppose.

Malaysia says it has received new satellite images from France showing potential debris from missing flight MH370 in the southern Indian Ocean.

It's in the same area as the images we've seen from Australia and from China this week. The BBC also reports that 'more planes are joining the hunt for MH370'. It does seem as though they're getting closer to finding something now, so hopefully they do.
