PA-12 to the rescue!

Charlie and his son found a lost snowmachiner! We had three fixed wing and a chopper out searching, plus 50+ snowmachines. =D>

The winner is the person with the most stories when he dies, not the most gold.

Forgot to mention that since their were no video cameras around neither the Trooper aircraft or Coast guard (both of which have FLIR) showed up. We have added 'TV Camera' to the SAR checklist so they will get down here and help next time.

Very very good timing.
The effort paid off... he should be proud. No greater gift.

Flying is dangerous. If you think otherwise, you are new at this sport. Mind the gravity not the gap.
