The HH object 110 is a well collimated jet that in initial studies seemed to lack an exciting source. More recent studies suggest that the exciting source of this jet is off-axis, producing a faint jet, known as HH 270, which is deflected in a grazing collision with a molecular cloud, thus producing HH 110. We present sensitive observations made at 6 and 3.6-cm with the VLA toward the HH 270/110 system in an attempt to test this hypothesis. An object with characteristics of a thermal radio jet was detected coincident with the infrared object proposed as the exciting source of the HH 270/110 system. This thermal radio jet appears elongated along the direction of HH 270. No radio continuum source was detected at the apex of the HH 110 flow. Altogether, our results thus strongly corroborate the proposed jet-collision interpretation of the HH 110/270 flow complex. Additionally, we have detected at both 3.6 and 6-cm the driving source of the nearby IRAS 05487+0255 bipolar molecular hydrogen jet.
