Title: 1989 Alaska CAP find from the rescuee's perspective
Post by: spacecommand on April 11, 2012, 07:13:58 PM
So I was browsing through youtube and I came across this video:

You can read the full summary in the video, but essentially it is a home video from a Cessna that had to make an emergency landing in Alaska.  The video shows all members and 2 kids safe on the ground making signals and firing flares.

Near the end of the video the poster noted that an Alaska Civil Air Patrol plane on it's way back to Anchorage was the one that found them (according to the end titles and seen in the video flying over low starting round 4:09 on the video), then soon after a helicopter is seen coming to pull them out.   

A pretty cool video from the rescuee' perspective.
