They are still calling it a rescue mission, but this is day 9 and have had terrible weather the entire time. A recovery mission might better describe the operation at this time. This entire event has been odd from the start.
I understand people can access this website http://www.tomnod.com/nod/challenge/arksar2014
and from the comfort of your recliner, help scan imagery and flag. We have not had enough clear skies to get the imagery needed yet, but maybe later this week.
The guy was 34, married, new baby.......
Here is a link to Arkansas Forestry Commission facebook page where it seems they have the majority of information compiled in one location. https://www.facebook.com/ArkansasForestryCommission.
I just thought some of you might enjoy the hunt, especially on a housebound bad weather day.
The day he went missing was very windy, which equates to severe turbulence and windshear around these little mountains. I suspect in-flight break-up. There was never a mayday nor an ELT signal. Only location info they have is approx. location when he made a scheduled check-in with dispatch and they were only able to ping his cell from a single tower.
