Pilot down
December 27, 2008
I never knew what to expect when the door bell rang especially since I was involved with search and rescue. I had been informed when I answered the door that an Alaskan bush pilot had made an attempt to send an s.o.s. before apparently going down in some remote wilderness not far from where I lived. So off I went to help find the down plane and its pilot.
It was one of those miracles that all of us hope and pray for, because we found both the pilot and the plane in good shape not long after we received the call. Apparently not long after take off, the engine stalled and the pilot was forced to crash land on a mountain snow field and ended up flipping top end over before burying itself in a large snowbank. Not only did the pilot come out unscathed, but the plane was repaired and ended up flying back to the airport that it took off from!
