ATTN CAPTALK 3 WYWG Officers MIA

[Nick Critelli]

Attention CAPTALK.

We have received notice that three  officers of the WYWG have perished in the line of duty.  Our condolences to their families and to our colleagues in WYWG.

The following message was received this afternoon: 

SENT ON BEHALF OF BRIGADIER GENERAL AMY S. COURTER ______________________________________________________

Members of the National Board and Board of Governors

It is with deep regret that I inform you that three members of the Civil Air Patrol perished in the line of duty yesterday.

A Wyoming Wing aircrew was participating in an AFRCC authorized search for a missing 16 year old. After the plane was reported two hours overdue, a second CAP aircraft was launched to search for the missing
C-182 when a U.S. Forest Service helicopter working in the area spotted the crash site in rough terrain.

The names of the members will not be released until their next of kin have been notified. I will provide you with more information as it becomes available.

Very respectfully

AMY S. COURTER
Brigadier General, CAP
Acting National Commander
