Idaho Search for Missing Pilot, Family Results in 140 Stories Mentioning CAP
SUMMARY OVERVIEW
Teams on the ground and in aircraft hunted for six days for a private plane that disappeared Dec. 1 in the mountains of central Idaho, enlisting a radar analysis team from Civil Air Patrol to narrow their search as they race against time and frigid temperatures in hopes of finding survivors. Eight aircraft, and 35 people on foot, snowmobiles and ATVs searched Idaho's vast backcountry for the single-engine Beech Bonanza piloted by Dale Smith, a 51-year-old software executive from San Jose, Calif. Smith was traveling with four passengers from eastern Oregon to Butte, Mont., on Sunday when he reported engine trouble. A news release from NHQ/PA on CAP’s 10-member National Radar Analysis Team contributed to the extensive news coverage of the event. Experts from NRAT were able to detect and map the Beach Bonanza's radar track until just before the aircraft apparently began its descent and used that information, as well as cellphone data, to narrow the area searchers were combing for signs of wreckage. Extreme winter weather, which included heavy snowfall, suspended the search on Dec. 11.
