Was due by one today. Bro in laws brother. Trying to get a tail #. What's weather like up there?

Only one line of light echos about 2/3rds of the way From Wolf Point to Billings shown on radar now.

Hoping for the best....

My brother in law and a neighbor pilot found the plane and they're heading back. That's all I know other than apparantly it was down somewhere they couldn't park a 206

Hmmm...

Keep us posted...

Hmmm...is right...

I keep refreshing this thread hoping for good news...

Went down in Vida MT, just 20 miles south of Wolfpoint. Still haven't heard anything else. We're thinking if there were good news, we'd have heard by now.

Bad news. The only good part is, he probably didn't suffer.

Sincere and solemn condolences to you and the rest of the family and friends.

My heart goes out to all concerned.

My heart sinks to hear this news.

So very sorry to hear this.

So Sorry.....

Thanks for all the gracious comments everyone, I'll pass them along. This particular family is really tight so they're going to take it hard. Darren had mothballed his flying for about 15 years to raise a family, he'd just dusted off his ticket at 38 and bought a nice plane. He had an enviable position of being able to justify flying for work between farms AND a grass strip on both ends. AT this point, I probably won't hear any more about what happened, they think he got into clouds and spun it in.

These endings always feel like such a kick in the guts. It's not hard to see a little bit of ourselves in each one of these stories.

Very sorry for the loss. Condolences to you and all who cared for him.
