Re: Missing Parks Plane Found

Kind of figured they would find it at low tide.....not high tide :( High tide and strong east sustained wind would blow floating debris in...

Re: Missing Parks Plane Found

Shelikof Strait is a strange place, with VERY strong currents and winds.

I'm surprised they found anything. I know of a couple others that dissappeared into Shelikof and were never found.

Like the article said, this gives closure to the families, but little else. Condolences to all that loved them.
