Hope n' Prayers needed
« on: November 07, 2013, 07:57:39 PM »
My uncles plane went down on the way in to a remote wilderness hunt in Idaho yesterday morning. His good buddy also with him, and pilot. East of McCall. Heading in to the Frank Church River of No Return. Bad weather currently. Going in to the second night.

Original story
http://www.ktvb.com/news/Single-engine-plane-reported-missing-after-taking-off-from-McCall-230905941.html

Update
http://ktvb.mlnwap.com/article.html#!/9047/c05752e9c3d047ff8aa58393606e8c67

Really close with him. Learned a lot of hunting from him.

Bad deal.  But those 206's are tough planes.  Don't lose hope.  Prayers sent...

I just read they are getting a transponder signal and have limited the search to about a 2-mile radius. I hope that produces some good results really fast.  :tup:

Yeah I saw that, thanks. The weather looks partly sunny there today and for the next few days. Hoping for the best today.

Thank you all.

I'll post updates as I can.

The problem is, those ELT signals bounce all over.  I've seen them indicate a downed plane miles from the actual plane.  Even sometimes in the opposite direction!  Still, I hope for a good outcome.

So sorry for your loss. Two of my good friends are making the same trip on saturday. I'm scared for them. But as you said they died doing what they loved. Same attitude my buddies have. They know the risk. Can't discourage those we love from chasing their dreams. I will ask my friends to shoot their deer in honor of your fallen loved ones. Stay strong my friend. God be with you

Sorry for your loss...not the news we wanted to hear.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

So sorry for your loss. Sending prayers for the family.
Sons are a heritage from the LORD, children a reward from him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are sons born in one's youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their enemies in the gate. - Psalm 127:3-5

So sad to hear this...thoughts and prayers for all of the friends and families of these wonderful men.  I used to fly frequently in the Frank Church, usually with Arnold and occasionally with McCall Air...all good pilots IMO.
