Not heard anything on this end. Harney County hasn't called me to fly.

I'll keep the scanner on and eyes and ears open.

Just got word. It was a helicopter hunting cyotes. The story goes hard set down set off ELT. They took off and were flying and the SAR guys were having trouble locating the moving ELT. They finaly caught up with the helicoter and resolved the ELT signal.

All good.


Oops! Unfortunatly I have landed a few times, that I checked the ELT before I parked. :oops: Glad it was just that and not someone down out in that country.

C ya, Bub

Those 47G's are hardy buggers...apparently all you have to do is rock it back onto the skids and fly it away again :shock: 8)
