Guest plumber Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 It just stuns me that, in this day of satellite tracking and 506 ELTs, a helicopter simply 'vanishes' and can't be found. It just doesn't make any sense. Unfortunately not everything is fool proof. Hoping the best for the crew and their families. Fly safe everyone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ottorot8 2 Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 I have had the great experience to work with the AME over the past couple of months, my heart weighs heavy for both there families and friends. There isn't a moment through the day that I don't worry about them. Hoping and praying for a positive outcome. Otto Quote Link to post Share on other sites
T-rex 17 Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 From what I have heard, the weather is that part of the world has/is hampering the visual portion of the search. Positive thoughts are among us for their safe return to their families. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Encyclo 0 Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Did the same run over 20 years ago same time of year, from Chimo to Ivujivik. We tried to go straight Payne Bay to Wakem Bay but had to go along the coast; low clouds & fog. No GPS back then... Hope these guys are safe and waiting for help Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lunchbox 78 Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Crap I don't know the crew, but this one was starting to eat at me, with the time it was taking for word. Sounds like the terrain/weather was difficult, but the longer it goes, the less likely the news was going to be good. I didn't know the crew, but know others who do know them. RIP and condolences to the friends and family. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
