This weekend our Sheriff's Aero Squadron is hosting a Fly-In and Western
States members flew in from all over the western USA to compete. I had the neat
experience of being invited along to take photos for our web site. My "air taxi"
to different locations in the county during the competition was the plane
demonstrating touching the line for my camera shot on http://www.ceoates.com/sar/train/air.html
A pilot might spot something from the air and try to get a GPS reading
that is at least reasonably close, then stay overhead to talk responding ground
forces to that location. That radio conversation can be a bit of a challenge.
<g> Another option for fixed wing is to drop a weighted message out the
window of the plane. To be more accurate they'll come in rather low. This could
create problems for livestock not accustomed to a plane buzzing at a lower
altitude overhead.
How many of you have planes for SAR support in your operational area?
Have any of you trained with your air support?
