OAMTC SAR
Posted: Tue Aug 12, 2003 10:42 amA call came into OAMTC that a light aircraft had crashed in the mountains, and had managed to give some rough coordinates before the radio cut out. Christophorus 2 was dispatched.
All afternoon and past dinner time our crew searched high and low.
It soon got dark, the crew hungry, and low fuel, so we decided to call it a night and return to base camp.
The next morning we began bright and early.
Around 10 in the morning after a few hours of searching, we again returned to base camp and refueled.
Around noon, we spotted a bit of red on a mountain slope.
Upon closer inspection, it was the plane. Luckily nearby, there was a small, level, clearing. The victims were treated at the crash site for broken bones and initial hypothermia treatment.
The victims were tansported back to a nearby hospital, then Christophorus 2 returned to base.
Hoped you like them.
